1844601 - Clicking a mailto: link does not display a From: address

Status: REOPENED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

Attachment: no-from-and-subject-lock.png

Apologies if this has been fixed in 115.0.x final but I saw it using TB Portable 115.0b1.

STR:

1. Visit, for example, https://distrowatch.com
2. Scroll to the bottom and click on the mailto link for Jesse Smith

Actual Result:

1. New compose window opens with nothing populated in the From: address (see image)

Expected Result:

1. New compose window opens with the From: address populated in the same manner as if creating a new email message using the Compose A New Message button

Must have just been a bug in the earlier beta as at home on 115.0.1 it works ok. Closing as WFM.
