Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Christopher Cook]

When I click on reply/reply all in netscape webmail the 'write a message' window
appears in the same window, rather than in a popup, if you then send the message
you get the 'your message has been sent' page, if you click Ok the **Main
browser window closes without confirming that the use wishes to close the window!**

Hmm, I wasn't clear when describing the bug. The window should open as a popup,
instead it is opened in the current window, the subsequent problem with
window.close is another bug but the main bug here is the compose message window
 opening in the current window - in I.E the window opens in a new popup. bug in
window.open() ?

checked, no difference.

Have you restarted mozilla after you changed the setting ?
If yes: Can you try a new profile (run "mozilla -profilemanager" and create an 
additional test profile)

[Christopher Cook]

Yup, your right a new profile fixes the problem - it's been such a long time
since I needed to use a new profile that I never even tried it. That'll teach me.
