Apprunner Build M8, ID 1999071417

Load the following text and markup in Apprunner:

<HTML>
<Head>
<Title>Bloody</Title>
</Head>
<Body>

The folk of Bugzilla say:<BR>
<A HRef="mailto:jwz@jwz.org">Don't be a quitter.</A>
<BR>
<A HRef="MAILTO:Crysgem@hotmail.com">I'll take all you ************* on!</A>
<BR>
<A HRef="MAiltO:rickg@netscape.com">I believe I know sufficient art of C++ to
fix this bug.</A>

</Body>
</HTML>

Only the first "mailto:" reference is completely acknowledged as a well-formed
link.

Nisheeth -- can you please look into this one? The parsing engine appears to be
passing the links correctly. I'm guessing link handling elsewhere.

CCing radha as she should know that I am changing her code!  :-)

Radha, the problem here was that we were trying to find the "mailto" string in
the url spec without ignoring case.  I changed three places where this was
happening: nsGenericElement::TriggerLink, nsWebShell::LoadURL,
nsWebShellWindow::HandleURL.  With those changes this bug is fixed.

Marking fixed.
