My, my, my.  What a lot of activity because someone clicked on a link
in an email and was actually taken somewhere.

Bloat not needed.  There is already a control to disable this feature: 

	CONFIGURATION/COMMON PREFERENCES/OTHER/WEB BROWSER

If you don't like the feature, turn it off or use a non-browser
command like:

	xmessage -center -file -

You can see the destination link and if you really want to click to
it, you can cut'n paste into your browser.  Bob's your uncle.
