299279 - Mozilla Suite 1.7.8: 2 requests from inlined attached form from Mozilla Mail

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I'm seeing an odd behavior with Mozilla Mail on a windows machine. It's as follows:

When I get an attached HTML form (POST) attachment if I click on the form as
attachment, it takes me to the Mozilla browser, clicking on the submit button
does a POST. So that's fine...

But if I turn on "Display Attachments Inline" in the View menu and then click on
the submit button inside Mozilla Mail, it takes me to the browser as well.
However, I can see that it does a double request if the browser was originally
closed. In fact, I see a POST & then a GET request! Double requests per click
can't be the right behavior. In the case when the browser is already openned,
there'd be 1 request. 

Also, when I try it using Thunderbird & Mozilla browser, I see a single request
as it should be. However, the request is a GET instead of a POST. I was told
this POST -> GET behavior is due to the fact that Thunderbird uses Windows
ShellExecute() to launch the default browser.

Can somebody comment on this odd double request behavior in Mozilla Suite?

thx...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. view an email with attached HTML form (POST) as inlined with Mozilla browser
closed
2. submit the form
3. notice that the form is openned in a new browser window.


Actual Results:  
I notice on the server that you'll get a POST and then a GET request. 2 Problems:
1 - the double request
2 - the POST becomes a GET

Expected Results:  
I'd expect to see a single POST request

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?
If yes, please attach an email example, so someone can try and reproduce.
