Are you then proposing to reverse the contextual click on the link to give the option, "view in the browser". All browsers have currently implemented "save this link as"? It may please some users. As a user, I will place this in the category of super annoying features. It then means I would need a preference in the browser to disable it. Then it is at least 3 modifications to implement it. -- Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ Developer Relations & Tools, Opera Software
