User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

When middle click is set to open web pages in a new tab, it fails to work on
hyperlinks within emails.  Right-click, 'open in new tab' works and left click
will still open the web page.  Middle click and nothing happens at all.  Middle
click hyperlinks within the browser and they open in a new tab as usual.
(This seems to be a new error in 1.7).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up Mozilla so that middle-click opens in new tab
2.Receive email with hyperlink
3.Middle click hyperlink (with middle-click set to open in new tab)

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Page should have opened in a new tab
