Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 11459

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Matth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

I open an HTML page with Mozilla 1.7.3. In this page, a button connected to a
javascript mailto function is supposed to send a mail with the default mail
program on my system.
Mozilla is not my default mail program (it's Thunderbird).
In the configuration, the "use Mozilla Mail as your default mail..." option is
unchecked.
Thunderbird is really my default mail program (all other browsers find it).
When clicking the button, Mozilla asks me to configure a new mail profile in
order to send the mail.
I can't find a way to make it use Thunderbird to send the mail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Uncheck the "use Mozilla Mail as your default mail..." in the browser's
preferences
2.set another program (Thunderbird) as the default mail application
3.Open an HTML page with a javascript "mailto" function
3.Activate this function to send a mail with the default mail application
Actual Results:  
Mozilla asks me to create a new mail account in order to send the mail

Expected Results:  
It should have sent the mail with the default mail application (Thunderbird)
