something must be intercepting the uri's and messing them up. Do you have any virus checkers, or spy-ware on your system?

It is not actually my computer, this is happening on the system of one of my friends. They asked me to look at it as I work for the computing department at my university. Anyway, I went in a whole suite of tools and found no spyware, adware, viruses, etc. on the system.

My aunt had this same problem using Thunderbird 1.5.0.2. The problem
happened both when using Firefox or IE as the default web browser. I disabled
the firewall (Windows XP Home firewall) and the virus scanner (Trend Micro) but
that didn't help. Uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird didn't help, even
after completely removing the Thunderbird folder from Program Files. I also
renamed the profile folder so it would create a new, clean profile but that
didn't help either.
I finally fixed it but uninstalling Thunderbird, removing the Thunderbird
folder from Program Files, manually removing all the Thunderbird references
from the registry, and then reinstalling Thunderbird. After that clicking
URLs in the mail worked fine. I suspect the problem was the registry since
I tried the other stuff individually without success. There were a lot of
Thunderbird references in the registry from older versions but there wasn't
anything that stood out as being an obvious problem.

More discussion in bug 381922 suggesting a compatibility setting in the Windows properties of thunderbird.exe is to blame.
