How to open link in default browser?



I'm working on tweaking an applescript that works in conjunction with the bayesian filtering software POPFile[1] and Mail.app. POPFile adds a few custom headers, one of which includes a URL that displays the email in POPFile's web interface.

[1]: http://popfile.sourceforge.net/

An example of a POPFile header:

X-Popfile-Link: http://127.0.0.1:8080/jump_to_message?view=24212

Here's what I have working for for Safari. I'd like to target this, though, in whatever the default system browser is, but am not sure if it should be just "open [url]" or if there's something more complex I need to be doing:

set popFileLink to (content of header ¬
       "X-Popfile-Link" of msg)
set popFileLink to (characters 1 through ¬
       (count of popFileLink) of popFileLink)
log "PopFile: " & popFileLink
tell application "Safari" to GetURL ¬
      (popFileLink as string)

Any help is appreciated!
