Re: First message

Greetings,

I didn't see this response before I sent my last. I kinda like this idea as
I have a website (yes, it's just one) that must be opened in IE. It'd be
convenient here to have the ability to launch that URL in a particular
browser/program. However, this seems like overkill in my case. What do you
all think the interest in a feature like this would be?

Cheers,
JW
