190366 - Clicking on MailNews links extremely slow [shouldn't wait for response]

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 130671

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Patrick Xia]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030121
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030121

In a MailNews message with a link in it, clicking on the link yields extremely
slow results. It seems proportional with the speed of the server, so MailNews
seems to be waiting for a response from the server while I can't do anything.
I'd like to be able to:
a) click on link
b) watch little loading indicator on tab
c) open new tab
d) surf elsewhere
e) page loads in original tab

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a mail to yourself with several links to it.
2. Click on link to relatively slow server.
3. Open up a new tab in your browser window.

Actual Results:  
Watch MailNews stall to open the link, and the link loads in the tab you're now in.

Expected Results:  
MailNews immediately just tells the browser to open the link - so the link shows
up in the old tab.
