Bug Description

The mouse inside html messages toogles in selection mode all the time, so when you click in a link it selects all the text from the beginning to the link you want to click, odd behavior.

A screenshot of the bug, in the mail you see that some text appears to be selected, in fact the only thing i did was clicking on the ACTIVATE button inside this example email.... after clicking in activate button, no browser is launched but the above text is selected somehow. I just wanted to give a more clear picture of the bug.

Another fact: The browser with the link is not launched the first click, BUT making a double click it launches the browser.

This is affecting all HTML messages, not plain text links.
