Details

clicking on a http link does not bring up the system's default browser. If you click on a http link (ie. http://www.mozilla.org) while in mozilla's email client, it will bring up mozilla for the link, instead of bringing up the system's default browser. (ie. Internet Explorer, Chimera, Omniweb, iCab, Opera, etc.)
Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002052918 (rv1.0.0). This is related to all the bugs about mailto: links not using the default mail client, but in the other direction. -->Mail Window Front End, reducing Severity, and editing Summary.

Really confirming.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Mozilla asks me if it wants me to set it as the default mail client, and i click on "No," but Mozilla then opens the Mozilla new message dialog anyway.
