199801 - MailNews doesn't use default browser.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 108455

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Matthew Ohlmeyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030320
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030320

Well if we can make it so Outlook opens Mozilla as the default browser..
Then Mozilla mail should be able to use the default browser as well..
Perhaps a check in MailNews prefs:
Open Mail Links in Default Browser

This is for all you sick people who are so insistent on IE or some other lame
browser...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a message in MailNews thathas a URL link.
2. Click the link.

Actual Results:  
Link will open in Mozilla regardless of the default browser setting.

Expected Results:  
Link should open in the default browser.  Optionally.

This isn't for my sake I promise I use Mozilla all the way... this is for friend
who still wants to use IE *gag*.. but by all fairness he should be able to use
MozillaMail and have his links open in the default browser.. IE
