This bug report even does not specify the reporter is talking about Bugzilla. He
provided no links, no example. Marking the bug as invalid.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird 1.02 twice. Results same. You
simply cannot execute a URL by clicking on it. You must have the Thunderbird
window and a browser window on a split screen. Then, you can drag and drop the
URL to the browser and it works.
