OK I made this work for ies4linux....

You do have to edit the externalpreview.sh script in quanta's scripts 
directory (locate externalpreview.sh should help you find the location).
I will attach the file with changes....

Basically I have written a new rule that if the browser starts with ie, remove 
the file:// and add a z:\ to the url.  This should work with local files... 

Next, just copy the action for open in Firefox, replacing firefox with ie6 (or 
whatever version you want), and remove the tab argument.

Attached is the new externalpreview.sh and the configure actions screenshot 
for ie6. Put a diff between versions of externalpreview.sh at the bottom of 
the body of this email too...

Hope this helps everyone out there.... it is not fully tested - seems to work 
with a file in my user directory (file:///home/alowe/test.html) with both ie6 
and ie5.5 - but I have not extensively tested this as I do not do that much 
with straight html - so you might want too...
