139587 - Mozilla mail doesn't open URLs in system default browser

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108455

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

I have set Opera (6.01) as my default WWW-browser but Mozilla Mail opens 
all URLs in Mozilla's www-browser which is annoying: I always need to copy-paste URLs to 
Opera.

And it's naturally reproduced every time...

1. Open any mail message containing 
URL
2. Click URL

I expected that Mozilla would use Windows' default www browser like every 
Windows application does.

Probably easiest way to fix this is to use ShellExecute Win32 API 
call in Windows builds...

using opera 6.04 as my default browser; mozilla mail/news opens up mozilla browser every time.

I can confirm the bug, my default browser is not Mozilla but Mozilla Mail 
opens all URLs with the Mozilla browser. All the other applications use the 
default browser (no matter if it's Mozilla or not) but Mozilla Mail always use 
the Mozilla browser.

My system is Windows XP. Mozilla build-id: 2002072408
