I'm not sure about that (even if "This account is the default for
mailto:"; must be involved). I think the key is bad programming by RIT
Labs.

My guess is that TB! interpret account settings in the wrong order. When
launched through a mailto: link, it first checks for "This account is
the default for mailto:"; and tries to send the message through the
corresponding account, thus putting up the dialog asking for account
password. It then realize there are accounts set up as user and not
admin and asks for log on.

If TB! instead first checked for the presence of user accounts, it could
present only the log on box and dismiss the account password dialog.


I think this should be reported to the bugtraq, but since I don't have
my username/password at hand, anyone else feel like reporting?


Jonathan, have you seen this thread? Any thoughts?
