Yes and know, I did, but can't remember. I now just use konqueror (KDE 
3.1.1, CVS). The question seems faq-ish, so it shouldn't be too hard to 
find the answer...

Here ya go, try this:

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kmail&m=103809696526448&w=2
which says to "use 'mozilla %u'. The %u tells KDE that mozilla can 
handle URLs and not only local files."

HTH,
