In the subscription emails, when you click on a link, the target page opens in the same window. Many of the target pages have links that one follows to understand the articles. This reuse of a single window makes navigation more difficult and getting back to the subscription a tedious process.
A workaround is to right click the link and specify "open in a new window". but making a new window the default would be helpful.
An example is from the "Database Weekly" for 10/11/2010 with element:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sqlservercentral.com/links/4614/176192">(more)</a>
Prefered is having a target of a new window:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.sqlservercentral.com/links/4614/176192">(more)</a>

It's a pretty good split of people that like this/don't like this. We have experimented with the open in new window/same window a few times over the years and both generate some complaints.
I think this is the best way to do it for now since you do have the "open in new window/tab" option. If we switch it, then there isn't a "open in same" option that I'm aware of.

Using Internet Explorer 7 I right click on the link and select "Open in new tab" - ditto for links in that tab to yet another new tab. What is the problem?
