Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108455

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021029 Phoenix/0.4

When you click a link in a mail you received, mozilla-mail should open the
default browser to view the link. Instead it opens mozilla-navigator to view the
link. There's no solution for people who only want to use the mozilla mail
client without the builtin mozilla-navigator. If I use Opera as default browser
for exmaple and mozilla-mail as default mail client I want to be able to click
links in mozilla-mail and I want them to be opened in Opera.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up IE as default browser (for example)
2. Receive a mail with a link. (in Mozilla-Mail)
3. Click the Link


Actual Results:  
Mozilla-Navigator pop up and opens the link...

Expected Results:  
IE (for example) should pop up and open the link...

I didn't know in which Component this one belongs, so please feel free to change
it to the right one. Sorry.

come on, this one is very easy to find.
Just search in the mailnews component for the summary "default browser"
