Description

[Carlos Gongora]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I try to read my mail from MSN (mail link to hotmail) messenger version 6.2
There is a link in MSN to read mail, this links takes the user to the page
www.hotmail.com to read mail. Instead of that Firefox opens my Eudora mail
client,  when it should open www.hotmail.com. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Execute and login to MSN 6.2
2. Click on the mail link in the upper section of MSN
3. It will open what ever program is configured under Mail Clients in Windows
Internet prefereces (Outlook, Eudora, etc)

Actual Results:  
Opened Eudora client

Expected Results:  
It should have opened the web browser with the page www.hotmail.com Because all
MSN accounts are associated with a hotmail email account. And the link from MSN
sould take you to a browser to load the url www.hotmail.com This the way it
works in other browsers
