User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_2; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

Opening a huge mailto link with more than 32768 characters in Thunderbird does not work. Instead of opening a new window, Thunderbird does nothing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure Thunderbird is your default mail software.
2. create a huge mailto link with a body with 40000 characters. See the URL provided as example.
3. enter the mailto link in Safari or Firefox.
Actual Results:  
No window is opened in Thunderbird 3.0.3 when you open the mailto link.

Expected Results:  
A huge mailto link with more than 32768 characters should work in Thunderbird.

Only tested with Thunderbird 3.0.3 on MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). The Mail.app application from Apple is not affected by this issue.

I see the same on Windows XP with 3.0.3 - nothing happens when clicking on the link provided from either Firefox or MSIE8, no message in the TB error console. Trying the same link in SeaMonkey 2.1a1pre nightly opens the SM composition window correctly. Smaller mailto: links work in either application.
