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.
