Links to other posts in nntp messages (specifically, as displayed in the lower 
right pane), are parsed incorrectly.  E.g.,

   news:4%%qd%2E613$he1%2E544@fe61.usenetserver.com

is parsed as

   news://4%%qd%2E613$he1%2E544@fe61.usenetserver.com/

instead of as

   news://default-news-server/4%%qd%2E613$he1%2E544@fe61.usenetserver.com



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any newsgroup, and find a post that contains
   a link to another post in that group.  E.g.,

      Klem <ah@clem> wrote in message 
      news:4%%qd%2E613$he1%2E544@fe61.usenetserver.com ...

2. Move the mouse pointer over the highlighted link.

3. Look at the status bar and/or click on the link.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
TB should display the post linked to, but instead it remains on the current 
post.
I believe this essentially a dupe of bug 89939; see also bug 77195, bug 108877.

Support for news: and nntp: URLs is pretty weak.
