94643 - system integration for HTML documents opens Wordpad on Outlook link

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 88083

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Dan Mellem]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080110

When "HTML documents" is assigned to IE or Navigator 4.xx, a link opened in
Outlook (2000) opens properly. When it is assigned to Mozilla, Wordpad opens
first, errors, and then the document opens normally in Mozilla. Reinstalling
Mozilla, manually changing the associations, and remaping to IE and back to
Mozilla did not clear the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I haven't tried it on another computer since I don't have another.
1. Open an e-mail in Outlook that contains a URL (plain text, not HTML)
2. Click on the link.


On the error from WordPad, one of two errors are shown.

1)----------------- (fatal error)
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe
abnormal program termination

2)----------------- (warning)
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MAPI\1033\nt\<URL>
Cannot find this file.
Please verify that the correct path and file name are given.

By the way, the attachment shows a different version of Mozilla but the same
thing occurs with the current version (2001080110).

This is probably the same mechanism as bug 88083 but instead of two browser
windows, two separate applications open. This could be due to file associations,
though. Just wanted to point it out. Thanks.
