Anytime I click on a "email us" link, and the mail compose window opens, it does not have the "insert" menu. This makes it rather hard to insert a link, table, image, etc. If message composer is opened from the mail/news window, the insert menu is there and works mostly fine; it's also there if I CTRL-M fromthe browser. It just is absent when clicking on a mailto link. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to a web page that has a mailto: link in it. 2.Click on the link. 3. Actual Results: Message composer opens with no "insert" menu. Expected Results: Displayed the same menus as when message composer is opened through mail window. No themes. Athlon 350mhz laptop.
nothing to do with file handling....
Component: File Handling → Composition
Product: Browser → MailNews
The format menu is also missing, and the options entry on the format menu (see bug 191098). I would suggest that all three problems (any more?) should be fixed under this bug.
This also happens when clicking on the mailto: link displayed in the mail client; when clicking on a link in the address book; or when clicking on a link in the from: or to: area of a displayed message.

Actually this is a dup of a different bug.
Status: RESOLVED → UNCONFIRMED
Resolution: DUPLICATE → ---
But since I can't find that bug, I'll resolve this one as INVALID instead. IIRC mailto: links always open plain text compose for security reasons.
