95655 - acrobat plugin embeds PDF in mail viewer

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 76416

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Chris Dolan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010802
BuildID:    2001080214

Links ending in ".pdf" in mail messages are displayed in the mail window when
clicked instead of in the browser window, using PDF plugin.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install Acrobat 5.0 PDF plugin
2. send yourself a mail message with the following URL:
   http://www.clotho.com/staff/chris/moztest/plugintest.pdf
3. click link in mail message

Actual Results:  The PDF loads and replaces the mail message in the mail message
pane.

Expected Results:  PDF should have been embedded in browser window (existing or
new) like whant happens if most urls are clicked in mail messages.  At worst,
the PDF should have been sent to the external application specified in my helper
application prefs (application/pdf: Acrobat Reader 5.0)

we had a bug on this..and someone had mentioned that it's a good thing to have 
pdf embed...let me find it.

I'm not sure if this is a dup or even intended, but the change would likely need
to be done in Mail/News FE.
