76108 - Mail's "message source" remains blank

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 73141

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Seak, Teng-Fong]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010413
BuildID:    2001041304

This is a dup of 70172, but don't close it so fast, because I manage to
reproduce the bug.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that Mozilla will launch mail next time it starts (because that's
how I manage to reproduce the bug)
2. Close everything of Mozilla and restart Mozilla
3. In my Mozilla, I've got all three panel visible. First I click on "message
list panel" to choose any message. Now, open "message source" (I type Ctrl+U)
but nothing is shown. If I then click on another message, this time "message
source" works.

Actual Results:  Blank window.

Expected Results:  Window showing message source.

Repeat steps 1 and 2, then click on "message list panel" to choose any message.
This panel is now active. Then click on "message panel" to make it active.
"message source" still shows nothing. If I click on "message list panel" again,
"message source" works again.

this is a dup of one of alecf's (or jag's) bugs.

we are loading the home page (or about:blank) if that is what you load on new
navigator windows.

stephend, is this a dup? I don't understand what the message source has to do
with clicking links...

There are several bugs reporting the first time you click a link OR try to view 
the source OR open a supported attachemnt from the mail window when you have 
launched the app using -mail will result in the Browser launching with the page 
you have assinged as the start page for browser.  Once you dismiss that an try 
again the correct actions happen (ie source, supported attachment and clicked 
links to web pages load).  These bugs are 79645 dup of 75689, 70957 not duped 
yet, 70172 not duped yet 76108 dup of 73141 and probably more.  So I will verify 
this as a dup of 73141 and try to group the other bugs.
