"URL Not Syntactically Valid" in Email

Post by Malbone »

This may not be a NoScript problem, but since it arose immediately after I installed NoScript, I'm posting it.

I use Eudora 7 for Windows as an email client. Since installing NoScript, some URL links in emails are no longer clickable -- Eudora reports that they are "not syntactically valid" but says nothing else about them. (I also run Eudora on a Mac, and on that machine the same links are still clickable.) Other links in other emails are still clickable.

I have tried allowing "about:blank" -- nothing changes. I tried changing various esoteric Eudora settings, but the most I could achieve was to have the link click through to a new Firefox window showing my home page. (I have Firefox set to open links in tabs rather than windows, but that did not occur in this case, for some reason.)

Firefox is set as the default web browser. The actual link action is "C:\Program Files\Internet\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -requestPending -osint -url "%1" and DDE is used to handle the request.

Thanks for any insights!

(I use Eudora 7. Rarely click on links. Though the times I have, I have not run into that situation.)

There is nothing in NoScript that would/could affect Eudora - to cause Eudora to generate a message.

Simplest test would be to disable NoScript, then click the link in Eudora.
If the end result is the same, then it is not NoScript.


Maybe something starting around here (I did not finish it)? Qualcomm: Cannot open URL in message/ about:blank /"URL Not Syntactically Valid" issues.
