155280 - Different results between branch/623rtm when Clicking on a link in a mail mesg, that is missing http://

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[grylchan]

using current commercial branch 2002-07-01-08-1.0

This only applies to the compose file menu option Insert|Link.
Ties in to bug 155277 (we don't add 'http://' automatically). If that bug
is fixed then this bug would be fixed?

in 6.23rtm: if i do insert link with 'www.yahoo.com' , when I receive the 
              mesg, there is no hyperlink to click. Though if view mesg 
              source, I do see the href tag. 
In 7-1 branch: if i do insert link with 'www.yahoo.com' , when I receive the 
              mesg, there IS a hyperlink to click. If I click on it, 
              it brings up the mail mesg in the browser window instead
              of the web page.
