197725 - browser will not open to URL selected in e-mail message.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 192849

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard Bottiglieri]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

When a URL is enclosed in an e-mail message, clicking on the link should open
Mozilla (if it not already open) and redirect the user to the appropriate URL. 
In Mozilla 1.3, this does not happen (it worked in 1.2.1).  Instead, clicking on
the URL in the e-mail message opens Mozilla, but only to the home page (if you
have this option selected).  If Mozilla is already open, a new browser window
opens with the proper URL and takes you to the right page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an e-mail (I used MS Entourage) in a stand-alone e-mail client app. that
contains a URL.
2. Click the URL
3. Mozilla will open but you will not be taken to the desired URL.  Your default
home page will open instead.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla will open but you will not be taken to the desired URL.  Your default
home page will open instead.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have launched and taken me to the URL I clicked in the e-mail
message.
