User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Currently using Mozilla 1.5's mail tool to access my emails. When I receive an
HTML formatted email that has anchors to other parts of the same email message
text, I get an Alert that says "is not a registered Protocol". The alert does
not display the protocol name - looks like it is blank. The email is from
Newsfactor Network and has always worked before I installed Mozilla version 1.5
- it worked in all previous verison of Mozilla including 1.4.x. This is highly
reproducible in other similar emails (Searchdatabase, Oracle, Linux Business
Weekly, etc.). I've tried changing Preferences, but nothing seems to work or the
setting is not obvious to a general user like myself. I do have Junk Mail
controls on, but turning it off doesn't change things. Javascript and Java are
turned on (always!).

I searched Bugzilla and could not find anything that specifically involved the
prolem I have and apologize if there is one (I searched for protocol and
registered protocol).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla Mail
2. Emails automatically download
3. Click on Newsfactor Network email (or any similar HTML-formatted) newsletter.
4. Scroll to list of articles in email.
5. Click on an article (supposed to go to the article that is in the email)
6. Alert box pops up with text: "is not a registered Protocol"

Actual Results:  
Alert box pops up with text: "is not a registered Protocol"

Expected Results:  
Should go to the article that is in the email message.

No crash occurs just the alert box shows up and I don't get directed to the article.
This attachment contains the HTML code used by the email message (Newsfactor
Netwrok newsletter). It is provided as an example to aid in finding the
problem. The Linux Business Week newsletter does this also.
Fixed this morning (and bugzilla's default search settings only search
still-open bugs).
