This must be a duplicate but I couldn't find any other bug, maybe because the
terms where too generic?

When I receive mails that refers to files on our intranet they are typically
displayed blue and underlined like this:

file:///\\some\urlto\alocalfile 

however, clicking them does nothing and if I copy link location the links looks
like this:

file:///%5C%5Csome%5Curlto%5Calocalfile

Pasting this link into Windows Explorer does not work.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Whatever is set to handle file-urls should open the clicked URL, either a file
or a directory.
Related to Suite bug 152296 -> Core bug 107540?
file: URLs are disabled in Thunderbird by design, for security reasons. See bug 135830.
