In Netscape CC 4.5 and Microsoft IE 5.0 right clicking on the above link
opens "netscape", a left click opens "mozilla"; in the M12 mozilla browser both
kind of clicks open the "mozilla" page

Not quite sure who this belongs to.  Tentatively assiging to event handling, in
case they have a better clue.
This is essentially a bug in 4.x which is now fixed in 5.0.  All mouse buttons 
can now cause clicks as opposed to the arbitrary choice of left button only in 
4.x.  You can check the event object's 'button' prop to differentiate the 
events.

finally responding to some email i got from mpt [pardon the delay!]: this is not
a problem for me, using 2000.12.07.09 mozilla on win98 [and a 3-button mouse,
fwiw]. removing verifyme kw, too.
