In messages that contain very long url's (see the screenshot, the link after
"Das zugehörige Flugblatt") the url gets wrapped and is no longer clickable.
Only the first part of the url will appear in the browser and the link does not
work. This occurs either in mail and in newsgroups.

Reproducible: Always

1. write a plain text mail with a very long link in it
2. check mail and get it
3. click on the wrapped link

Actual Results:  
Only the first part of the url will appear in mozilla browser, the link is broken.

Expected Results:  
recognize that the link is longer than one line and load the complete link

simple workaround: copy & paste the URL to the location bar.
To get this working you need an entry in the profile in user.js:
user_pref("editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines", 3); 
I´m using this on win98.
