You can change the defaults, but I haven't. Both dictionary and encyclopedia for Opera get me to InfoPlease. That JavaScript I included works with any browsers. And I only use Opera's e-mail when I'm at work checking my home e-mail to see if there are any new Dragaeran e-mails. It's design has too many flaws for me. FireBird is a browser only, although I expect the plug in might work with ThunderBird. When I have a browser open, and am doing some work with some other application, I can cut word, and then click on that JavaScript shortcut, paste that word to the window, and go to a dictionary. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
