295019 - Redirection to mozillazine page fails, reporting "Bad title"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 305682

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Edgington]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

When initially launching Thunderbird, the chrome://messenger/locale/start.html 
page is displayed in the message-viewing window.  This page contains various 
links to get information on various features of Thunderbird.  When one clicks 
on such a link, the appropriate page is loaded into the browser, and 
subsequently a <META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH... redirect is attempted.  The URL 
which shows up in the address bar after this redirect is attempted 
is "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls<NOSCRIPT><META%20HTTP-
EQUIV=REFRESH%20CONTENT=", and naturally, this is treated as a "Bad title" by 
the mozillazine site.

This problem seems only to occur with internet explorer (I'm using ver 
6.0.2800.1006), but as a large number of first time users may likely be still 
using internet explorer, I think this is a critical issue to resolve in order 
for users to have confidence that the product is not flawed and to avoid 
thinking that documentation is unavailable for it.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set your default web-browser to IE
2. Run Thunderbird, and click on the "Adaptive Junk Mail Controls" link which 
initially appears.

Actual Results:  
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/junkmail.html loads and is 
redirected to "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls<NOSCRIPT><META%
20HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH%20CONTENT=" which causes the desired page not to show up.

Expected Results:  
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/junkmail.html should have 
redirected to "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls", which is the 
desired target page.
