Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 129574

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Shriramana Sharma]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050607
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050607

When there is a Mail window open, if I click on an NNTP (news://) link, a new
Mail window opens. I expected the older one to be recycled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the URL given above to visit a page with NNTP (news://) links. 
2. Make sure Mozilla Mail is open. 
3. Click on an NNTP link on the page. 
Actual Results:  
A new Mail window, totally unnecessary, opens.

Expected Results:  
If a Mail window is already open, it should have gone to that window, and not
have opened a superfluous extra window.
