Bug Description
Binary package hint: amsn
The first time in aMSN you must chose which software aMSN will call upon when somebody wants to open a file, open a link to a web page etc. This shouldn't be the case so I have created a little patch (nothing fancy, trust me) which maked aMSN use xdg-open per default.
xdg-open is a part of xdg-utils (at least in Ubuntu 7.10) and gets installed in all official Ubuntu distros form the beginning.
I didn't want to change the default for playing sounds (play) because I don't know if xdg-open would handle it that good. One other option is to change the dependency of aMSN to include sox, that's out of my reach.
I hope this will be accepted, having to change something the first time you use it to get it working is not acceptable in my world. Simple fixes are often the best ;).
Please let me know what you think :)

Have you seen the latest upload to edgy at https:/ /edge.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ hardy/+ source/ amsn/0. 97+final- 0ubuntu2 perchance? It seems to fix this exact same issue for browser, at least.
