91507 - Mail context menu does not work with links

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91720

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[bobj]

Ran Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010719
Netscape6/6.1 on US Win95.

I received a bugzilla email.  At the top of the message was the bug link:
   http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62647

When I tried to use the context menu to do anything with this link,
nothing happened (silent failure).  I tried: Open Link in New Window,
Copy Link Location, Save Link As..., and Bookmark this Link.

BTW, if I simply double click the link, it does open the URL in an
existing browser window.

Right clicking on a bugzilla link displayed the context menus and they worked
for me. I'll try to duplicate.

Additional info:
I just tried 3 pane mode, this works for me.
If I open the message in a separate window, it does not work.

Are you using the Branch or Trunk build?

I am able to reproduce the problem in a Stand Alone window. 

Workaround: From the 3pane, Message pane: The context menu items associated with
the link are working (i.e. Open Link in New Windows, Edit Link in Compsoer, Copy
Link Location,  Save Link As and Bookmark this Link)

Marking nsbeta1 so that this is considered for the next release.

Marking a duplicate of bug# 91720 since more movement appears in that bug.
