If Mozilla is not open, it too should fail to open unless you have the
mozilla directory in LIBPATH. Having the mozilla directory in LIBPATH is
a bad idea if you intend to run multiple versions of the browsers. See
Steve W's page for hints on the available workarounds.

The msgutil setting should work. Recall that msgutil is invoke with
Ctrl-F3 to view html mail. It has nothing to do with the RMB menu
options.

There is a reason that seamonkey.!21 does not work. One can argue whether
it is an mr2i defect or a shell defect. Since the filename contains an !,
mr2i quotes the filename and the shell can not find
"H:\seamonkey\seamonkey!2l.exe"

The workaround point mr2i to a small command file containing just the line

H:\seamonkey\seamonkey!2l.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

This will work.

FWIW, no sane unix shell has this kind of stupid problem. The shells
understand what quoting means and strips quotes appropriately.
