Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
 Win32 commercial seamonkey build 1999-10-22-09-m11 installed on P166 Win98
 MacOS mozilla seamonkey build 1999-10-22-08-m11 installed on G3/400 OS 8.5.1
 Linux commercial seamonkey build 1999-10-22-08-m11 installed on P200 RedHat 6.1

Overview Description:
 Mailto links are broken in messenger and the browser.  When you click on a
link, nothing happens.  No compose window appears.

Steps to Reproduce:
Messenger
1) In Communicator 4.7, create a mail message with a mailto link.
   such as 'mailto:[e-mail]'
2) Send mail message to yourself
3) In Seamonkey, retrieve the message
4) Click on the link
   nothing happens

Browser
1) In Communicator 4.7, create a web page with a mailto link
2) Save the html
3) In Seamonkey, open the html you created in 4.7
4) Click on the link
   nothing happens

Actual Results:
 The mail compose window does not appear.

Expected Results:
 The mail compose window should appear.  The address pane should have the user
email address already filled in.

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On:
I am marking this a reggression because mailto links were working according to
bug 10892 that I was trying to verify.

Additional Information:
The problem does not occur on the 4.7 RTM builds of Win32, Linux, and Mac.

Yeah this stuff will get all fixed up again when url dispatching lands. Marking
as a dup.
