310496 - Internet Explorer redirect issues on Thunderbird feature links

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 305682

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

Description

[Daniel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0.6 (20050716)

When one opens Thunderbird, there are 6 links under "Features". If one uses 
Internet Explorer 6 to click the link, the redirect page links to an incorrect 
page. For example, the "Adaptive Junk Mail Controls" link goes to 
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/junkmail.html , but then redirects 
to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls<NOSCRIPT><META%20HTTP-
EQUIV=REFRESH%20CONTENT= , which then goes to a "Bad request" page. If one 
removes the HTML code ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls ), it goes 
to the correct page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (See Details, above.)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
(See Details, above.)

Expected Results:  
Redirect to the correct page without the HTML code in the address.

Internet Explorer doesn't like the method being used to redirect (using
document.write to add the meta refresh tag). Moving to mozilla.org product.

Attachment: .htaccess for /products/thunderbird/

some other pages also causes this so I suggest using .htaccess to resolve.
