Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 202497

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Chuck Dizney]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; Q312461)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624. Also happened in v1.3.

This problem occurred in v1.3 and now in v1.4. When I want to click on an email 
address while in IE it brings up the Composer window in Mozilla but the 
recipient field remains blank. When the link doesn't actually have the email 
address this creates a problem because then you don't have the actual email 
address and can't send a message. An example I have run into is when I want to 
send an email to someone at a radio station whose email link is a name which is 
supposed to reference an email id.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on email link in the article/web page/etc.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Composer comes up without the email address in the TO field.

Expected Results:  
I expected an email address to show up in the TO field. If I am in the Mozilla 
browser and do the same thing the email address shows up in the TO field. 

I know others who use Mozilla where this doesn't happen.
