links won't open in gmail

[tomeu]

If you open a message in gmail and click on an http link inside that message, a blank page will appear instead of the expected web page.

Looks like this is due to reusing the main window for popups:

    def provideWindow(self, parent, flags, position_specified,
                      size_specified, uri, name, features):
        return parent, False

Perhaps we should create a new activity window in those cases?

Submitted patch that adds a "Follow link" item to the Link palette in Browse. That seems to work around this issue.

Workaround works for me as well. Went into bunlde 88.
