How to open an URL in a new tab from command line ?

Post by lnc »

I would like to setup my mail client (sylpheed) to open urls in a new tab but I didn't find the command line to do that (if there is any).
Could you tell me what is it ?

It's perfect with the linux build but it doesn't work with the windows one ...

The "-remote" option uses X properties, so no X, no "-remote".
