Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091311

If you try atach a file inside a symlink to a directory, the Mozilla will not
accept double-click on link. If you press Open button, everything goes OK. The
problem is specific with the mouse.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a symbolic link to a dir
2.Create an e-mail
3.Click on atachments
4.Try to enter on this directory using the mouse (Don't press Open button. Try
to use double-click)

Actual Results:  After this steps, you will see that the mouse can't access the
contents of this links. When you use the Open button instead of double-click on
filename, the Mozilla do the expected.

Expected Results:  The Mozilla have to open the symlink at the same way it does
on the real directory.

This bug happened first time on m0.9.4. I not have any information about this
bug on m0.9.3.
