278254 - "ftp://user@domain" interpreted as a "mailto:ftp://user@domain" link

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mostafa]

Addresses like ftp://user@domain in mail body are interpreted as e-mail
addresses rather than URLs. Steps to reproduce:

1. Send a mail to anyone with 'ftp://user@domain' somewhere in the body
2. Goto "Sent" folder and preview the msg.
3. Click on link

Actual result:
opens compose window with "To: ftp://user@domain"

Expected:
Browser window with ftp://user@domain

Update: this happens when "domain" contains a "." like:

ftp://[e-mail]

URLs like ftp://user@domain are not even interpreted as links.

I've tried ftp://plop:[e-mail] ftp://[e-mail]
ftp://user@domain with 2005-03-21-05-trunk on WinXP
--> WFM, maybe a Linux-only bug?

Yes, it appears so; at least on a Fedora Core 3 system.. I have tried the latest
FC3 rpm (version 1.0.2-1.3.2 (20050324)) as well as the tar.gz from the
Thunderbird download page (version 1.0.2 (20050317)) with the same result. The
links are still interpreted as mailto: addresses.

I've just tried, and it seems to work ok here, although I get a message of 

    "530 Login Incorrect"

but the address-bar shows:ftp://plop:[e-mail]/

Attachment: screenshot of TB

This screenshot illustrates the problem.

1. " ftp://ftp.domain.com " is not interpreted at all
2. Statusbar shows " mailto:ftp://[e-mail] " with the mouse on top of
the " ftp://[e-mail] " link.

Attachment: reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 7.04 on ppc (iBook)

As someone asked for reproduce, here is one screenshot, when I move mouse over the ftp link, the status bar shows a "mailto" link. Click the link would bring up new email composing window.

do you see this using trunk build which has bug 427203, i.e. ftp support? mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/3.0a1-candidates/build1/
 (install to it's own directory)

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

I used to have this bug (there is some dupe about it), it got "solved" when I set minefields as default browser. So the problem is likely not with thunderbird, but somehow with the default handler of the ftp links.
