Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 216154

Description

[James Rome]

I had filed this in bug 204322, but was told this was different. See attachment
id=128501. 

I now see this all html mail messages. For example, the Sun Core Java
Technologies newsletter. The article header links links thatrefer to links such
as "/#2"
return 
"is not a registered protocol" 
pop-up when clicked.

 I have experienced the same problem.Mail with links refering to text in the
body result in an alert saying "is not a registered protocol". I have seen this
in the NYTimes and the WSJ. I believe that all was ok in M1.4 and M1.5.the
problem started with M1.5rc1.
See also responses 18 & 19 (mine) to the Mozillazine posting announcing M1.5rc1.

I confirm this bug. This is a *major* regression hitting all corporations sending
newsletters and reports through email.
Raising level on radar.
