(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Philip TAYLOR]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217

Every time that Mozilla messenger is launched (with Mozilla otherwise
inactive), it asks whether it should become the default e-mail client.
Answering "YES" makes no difference, nor does ticking the
"don't ask me again" box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Close all instances of Mozilla
2. Launch the messenger component
3. Answer "yes" and optional tick the box
4. Close down Mozilla
5. <repeat>

Actual Results:  
Each time it asks if it should be the default e-mail client.

Expected Results:  
Remember the previous answer, /and/ honour the
"don't ask me again" tick box.
