319687 - save link as dialog will not follow a folder shortcut when it is double clicked - tries to overwrite the .lnk file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 283730

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Charles Evans]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: version 1.0.7 (20050923)

The  file / save as  dialog correctly navigates the save as dialog to the destination folder of the folder_shortcut.lnk when you double click it (same as double clicking a subfolder icon);
BUT right clicking a link in an email and picking 'save link target as' gives a dialog that offers to overwrite the .lnk file when you double click it; this is never what one wants to do.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. view email with a link
2. rt click the link, save target as
3. navigate to a folder with a folder shortcut
4. double click the folder shortcut
Actual Results:  
tries to overwrite the .lnk file

Expected Results:  
navigate to the destination folder the shortcut points to (like the file save as dialog does)
