It's the only situation in which SM has this behavior. Well, at least
for what I saw so far.

Yes, background-browser-links work fine in both Mail and News body, but
not in News-&-Blogs header.
At the time when the RSS-feed-reader was being inserted into SeaMonkey,
there was a big-problem just-getting the feed-header-link to open in the
browser ( For a while there, it needed a "cut and paste" into the
browser's URL-bar), so it took a big-effort just to manufacture the
active-link within the RSS-reader component's header. I suspect that
this-difficulty is part of the problem, and that the active RSS
header-links in SeaMonkey News and Blogs are special, as header-URLs are
not normally active-links.
I think this question has moved from user-provided-support into
SeaMonkey-development.
Perhaps you may care to ask the question in
news://news.mozilla.org:119/mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey, where the
developers are more likely to consider the question as a
utility/feature-request?
Maybe it should-be a feature-request bug, but it seems unlikely that it
was previously-overlooked, given the utility-benefit of the function, or
that anyone now has spare-time to work on it.
I still use Newsfox, because of the inconvenient-jumping between
Browser-window and News-&-Blogs-window, simply to-read each
selected-web-site of interest, not to mention being-able to-continue
skimming-through the RSS-precis for additional interesting-articles,
without losing the interesting pages parked in the background-tabs.
Opening several-hundred uninteresting-web-pages within my News-&-Blogs
pane, defeats the task (and wastes my download allocation).
If the RSS-feeds precis could be skimmed within News-and-Blogs, only
opening chosen-pages-of-interest in the browser-background-tabs without
raising the browser (or alternately, being able to selectively only
download/open the interesting-web-pages within the News-&-Blogs pane?),
then either of these scenarios would be a viable-alternative to using a
fully-developed SeaMonkey-RSS-extension. In the interim, NewsFox works
for me in all versions of SeaMonkey.
Hope this is some help. Barry.
