I don't know. Its strange. Sometimes when I click on one of those
links, it opens within the current message. Other times (like the
test you did in secnews) it would open my browser and nothing happens.
Then again, when I clicked on your link above, it opened within the
browser. But then again, I'm forced to use Message ID Finder for it
to work.
