197313 - Quirky behavior when Mozilla is invoked from Pegasus Mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 179083

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ernest Cline]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; T312461)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I do not have (nor want) Quick Launch enabled. I do have Mozilla enabled as my 
default web-browser and Pegasus Mail as my default mail client. When I double 
click on an http reference in an e-mail and Mozilla is not already active, 
Mozilla displays some quirky behavior as described in the Actual Results 
section.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Mozilla closed and Quick Launch disabled
2. Open Pegasus Mail
3. Double-click on an http: address in an email.

Actual Results:  
I have observed three seperate behavors. One is the expected behavior. Another 
is the that page loads in a new window, but the URL that is displayed is "1". 
Mozilla then tries to load "1", showing the status message "Connecting to 1..."
Eventually, it gives up and gives the alert message "The operation timed out 
when connecting to 1." The window then works normally. The third is similar, 
except that the page is loaded into a new window with the URL not displayed, 
and a second window is created where Mozilla tries to open 1. The window with 
the blank URL works excepet that the URL is never displayed even when another 
window is loaded via a click on that web page. I can't remember if a new URL 
can be typed in or not and I haven't been able to duplicate this behavior since 
I decided to file bug report.

Expected Results:  
Open a single new window with the specified address.

I use Pegasus Mail v3.12c (Win32).
This sounds very similar to Bug 166872 except that in that bug, the desired 
content doesn't get rendered, making it a Major problem instead of the Trivial 
problem that it is for me.
