User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Having installed Linux on my system, I am finding that Thunderbird no longer
invokes the default browser (at present Konqueror) when a link is clicked.  The
OnClick method appears to be empty.  Note that this does not apply to Windows
versions of Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Send yourself an email containing a sure web address - eg, www.bbc.co.uk
2.  Download mail including this nessage, and open it.
3.  click the highlighted link

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
A browser window should have opened - using the above address would have opened
the BBC web site.
