Open Messenger (Tasks | Messenger) Select an email message that contains a link to a Web page Click on the link [The area occupied by the message is taken over by the Web page referenced by the URL in the link] Note, this may be related to bug 6626 - "Mail compose: click on link and new page displays w/in compose window" http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6626

Good bug description, Sol :-) I'm changing platform to All since this is probably a backend thing.
