133905 - mozilla registeres as standard mail browser even though not selectet to do so in prefs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 123596

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Holger Patzelt]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020406

every time mozilla is started it fiddles around with the 
mailbrowser registration of my w2k installation.
This behavior is not changeable by the checkbox in the preferences
that selects mozilla as standard mail broser or not.
Even worse: If mozilla is not selected it seems to empty the registation every
time its started, even if there is registered some other app.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start MS-Outlook and say yes to "Do you want outlook as standard ..."
2. start mozilla

3. start MS-Outlook: "Outlook is not registered as standard mail browser..."

Although I would like to Outlook seams not to be blamed for this.
(Please send Hints saying I should drop Outlook an use mozilla as 
mailclient to /dev/null, this is a company default and thus not my 
choice)

Actual Results:  Outlook is deregistered as mailclient (standard mailbrowser)

Expected Results:  nothing !!
Means: start up and leave the standard mailclient registration untouched.

This was a bug around the time of your build, have you tried a later build?
