I got the following mail from Scott: >>>" I have always found this to be an annoyance as well, that the ASSP resend links do not work in Thunderbird.
I took the time to do some testing today, and found the problem: The culprit is the target="_blank" which is part of the mailto link: <a href=" mailto:RSBM_spamx12345.eml@assp.local?&subject=request%20ASSP%20to%20resend%20blocked%20mail%20from%20ASSP-host%20mail.server.com " class="reqlink" target="_blank" title="request ASSP on mail.server.com to resend this blocked email"><img src=cid:1000 alt="request ASSP on mail.server.com to resend this blocked email" /> Resend </a> This causes Thunderbird to open a new tab, which it then expects to load a WEB page into, and it does not interpret the mailto properly, ending up in a blank page. When I did a test and removed the target="_blank" from the link, Thunderbird acted on the link properly. I can't actually think of a good reason for a mailto: link to have a target="_blank" directive in it - the mailto: link will be intercepted by the OS's default mail application, not the web browser (or mail client web rendering engine) which is displaying the message, so having it direct it to open the link in a new window is irrelevent. It used to be best practice to include the target="_blank" on mailto links for web-based email clients, but I don't believe that is the case anymore. I tested it on GMail, and it works correctly (intercepting the link and creating an email) with and without the target=_blank directive. Adding rel="noopener" to the link still opens a blank page within Thunderbird, but it DOES create the email correctly. However, I suspect the correct solution would be to remove the target="_blank" from the mailto links entirely. "<<< Thank you, Scott. ------------------------- So, what you can do to get the resend links working in thunderbird is to remove the 'target=_blank' from the html part using lib/BlockReport/modify.pm. add the following line to the %toReplace hash in sub modify &makeRe('target=3D"_blank"') => '', Notice: this may prevent other mail clients from opening the 'new mail window' correctly!

When I click on resend link in report via mail GUI or via outlook, everything is good, but problem is with Thunderbird. If I click on resend or whitelist addres in report, Thunderbird open blank screen with loading and do nothing. Is problem in ASSP or Thunderbird? Do you have same problem or it is only on my side? My colleague try it too but with same result. I tried it under Linux and W10.
