I´ve two problems on my PC with Win98 SE German with Mozilla 15:

1. in the INBOX are two unread messages as it show in the left menu. Everytime I
look in the right window, I´get no unread messages.

2. I´m not able to open any link in any email I got with the right mouse button
in a new browser-window!

Next time if you have two problems, file two bugs. It does me no good to have
two unrelated problems in the same bug.

Your first bug sounds like maybe you need to delete your INBOX.msf file... we
had a problem a while back with the indexes changing slightly.

With that assumption, I'm making this bug the second bug, and reassigning to
mscott since it sounds like URL dispatching might be broken - I thought I saw
this yesterday too.

changing component to front end, as this has nothing to do with the account
manager

victor, your bug two is: (1) a http: link in a mail message doesn't open in the
browser when you (left-) click on the link, or(2) the link does not open in a
new window when you middle-click on the link, or (3) there is no context menu
coming up when you right-click on a link?  Can you attach a comment to this bug
report specifying which bug you're seeing?

(1) works fine for me on 4.21.13 Linux build, (2) and (3) don't work, but I
think (3) is a duplicate.

Zach is right on here. (1) works for me and (2) / (3) require a context menu in
the message pane which hasn't been implemented yet. Putterman has a bug for that
already. So I think all our bases are covered. Marking as fixed.
