I can confirm the problem with 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401
The problem also exists, if you open a new _Window to show the mail "standalone"
Any relation to bug 101186 ?

this bug occurs when no navigator windows are open

additions to steps to reproduce behavior:

1.Make sure the preferences are set as follows:
    Preferences/Appearance/When Mozilla starts up, open:
    [ ] Navigator (off)
    [ ] Composer (off)
    [x] Mail & Newsgroups (on)
2.Close All Mozilla windows. Unload Mozilla from memory. 
  Make sure that quick launch icon is not shown.
3.Start Mozilla. Only Mail will open.
4.Right click an html link in a mail message
5.Select bookmark this link

As a result: nothing will happen.

6.Open Navigator
7.Close Navigator
8.Right click an html link in a mail message
9.Select bookmark this link
As a result: bookmark will be added to Bookmarks.
This is a workaround too.
