(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Paul J. Ste. Marie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0

when reading a plain text email, URLs are correctly formatted as lilnks.  However, if I attempt to open the link, by left-clicking, middle-clicking, or via a choice on the right-click context menu, nothing happens.  If I open the Javascript Console window, I will see the message:

   Error: uncaught exception: Load of <url> denied.

where <url> is the link url.  I have the mail tool set to not load images.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read email with URL in body
2. Click on URL
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.  Javascript Console will show error:

   Error: uncaught exception: Load of <url> denied.


Expected Results:  
Open the URL in an existing/new window/tab, depending on the mouse button used or context menu selection.

[David :Bienvenu]

what kind of url? http:? https:? Or some other kind?

Comment 2

(In reply to comment #1)

http:.  I haven't tried https.

I did try changing skins, mentioned in another bug lie this one, but that had no effect.

Hmm, more datapoints:

This only happens on one of seven different email accounts.  It's an IMAP account, but I have other IMAP accounts without this problem.  Server settings are:

user_pref("mail.server.server11.ageLimit", 30);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.capability", 541219);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.daysToKeepBodies", 30);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.daysToKeepHdrs", 30);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.directory", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Paul J. Ste. Marie\\Application Data\\Mozilla\\Profiles\\Main\\hg10c8cj.slt\\ImapMail\\mail.ste-marie.net");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.directory-rel", "[ProfD]ImapMail/mail.ste-marie.net");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.dual_use_folders", false);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.hostname", "mail.ste-marie.net");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.manualMark", true);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.max_cached_connections", 5);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.moveOnSpam", true);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.moveTargetMode", 1);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.name", "[e-mail]");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.namespace.other_users", "\"~\"");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.namespace.personal", "\"#mh/\",\"#mhinbox\",\"\"");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.namespace.public", "\"#public/\",\"#news.\",\"#ftp/\",\"#shared/\"");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.numHdrsToKeep", 30);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.purgeSpam", true);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.realhostname", "mail.ste-marie.org");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.realuserName", "paul_j");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.server_sub_directory", "");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.socketType", 1);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.spamActionTargetAccount", "imap://[e-mail]");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.spamActionTargetFolder", "mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/spam");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.timeout", 29);
user_pref("mail.server.server11.type", "imap");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.userName", "c7g9b71");

Some of those are screwy.  I will fix and retest

I think I solved it.  When I changed the settings:

user_pref("mail.server.server11.directory-rel",
"[ProfD]ImapMail/mail.ste-marie.net");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.hostname", "mail.ste-marie.net");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.realhostname", "mail.ste-marie.org");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.realuserName", "paul_j");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.spamActionTargetAccount",
"imap://[e-mail]");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.userName", "c7g9b71");

to:

user_pref("mail.server.server11.directory-rel",
"[ProfD]ImapMail/mail.ste-marie.org");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.hostname", "mail.ste-marie.org");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.spamActionTargetAccount",
"imap://[e-mail]");
user_pref("mail.server.server11.userName", "paul_j");

the URL links started working again.  I had previously changed the host name and user name for this account.  I assume that's what caused the problem.  Instead of changing the hostname/userName settings, Moz 1.7 added "realusername" and "realhostname" settings.

Sounds like bug 288348...

Comment 6

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

Paul,

SeaMonkey v1.0.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?

[Cédric "chewey" Menge]

#5 - it does indeed...

Duping.
