Can we rewrite the links so that we catch onclick events? Doesn't fix the Firefox bug, but at least doesn't reload the iframe. Or maybe take a look at other webmailers if/how they fix it. Though I guess most of them don't create a dynamic iframe, but just load the message again in the iframe.

[Sigh] Sure enough, a Mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359190

I can only reproduce with FF 3.5 (works fine on Google Chrome, IE 7, Opera). It appears to be a bug with the way FF treats IFRAME's that are populated using open(), write(), and close(); if loaded from a src URL, this doesn't occur. Since this is a browser bug, not really sure what we can do about it - especially since the alternative (loading the HTML data through a separate call) is really not an option for performance reasons.

If an HTML message contains a link to a local anchor further down in the HTML, the IFRAME is not scrolling down to that link, instead message.php is completely loaded into the IFRAME with the anchor hash attached to the loaded URL.
