Mail won't open links

I am having a similiar problem, did you ever figure out how to fix it?

I am having the same problem since installing Leopard a few days ago. Entering a link in Mail displays the URL but it will not open unless I "copy and paste" into the browser address window.

Please let me know if you find a solution.

I have the same problem.When I click on a link in Mail, it says

"Mail was unable to open the URL “ http://anylink”. No associated application could be found."

The link can be copied and pasted into any browser, and it works then.

I did delete Safari some months ago, because it was having problems (could not open pdf files). But Mail was using Firefox quite successfully as its default browser to open links. Now it will not do that.

I don't know how to reset the default browser without Safari being there. If you can reinstall Safari... fore up Safari, Preference, General, and select Firefox as your default web browser.

See if that doesn't fix it.

I suppose there is a way to do this from the command line.

had the same problem and solved it thanx to the apple hotline!

I have: iMac, OS X 10.4.11.

Observation: the problem appeared only for one user. The other users on the computer did not have the problem.

Solution:
1. in homefolder/library/ there is a folder "Mail": I did rename it to "Mail1". You can also archive it and place the archived file on an external HD. (safe way to proceed)
2. in homefolder/library/preferences I dragged the file "com.apple.mail.plist" to the desktop.
3. launch Mail: it will ask you to re-install your mail account. Do it. Make sure that you don't accidentally delete all your mails on the server if you wanted to keep a copy on the server!
4. Now the links to safari should work.
5. then I replaced the content of the old Mail folder (content of "Mail1") into the new mail folder. It still worked!

hope that helps!
