opening up a dial up connection is OS functionality, poke around your Windows settings and the settings for your dial-up connections... The browser wouldn't do it if you have your home page set to either a local page or blank since it never tries to use the internet connection, but mail tries to check your mail when it starts up(as well as load the mail start page) so when it asks to use the internet connection Windows will open up the dial-up connection depending on your settings.
