I have just installed IE 7 and I am very impressed. I can see mild
reductions in functionality from the view of not having the Favourites
displayed, and it seems slightly less easy to search within the page eg to
find text.

The one problem that I have had is that if I now receive an email in OE with
a link and I point and click at the link, the link no longer opens in a new
window.

I now have to copy and paste the link.

Anybody any ideas how to get round this?
