           Summary: Opening a new window for a link rather than a tab
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: pwarwick at rogers.com

I'm not sure if this is a bug but the behaviour differs from that of Firefox. I
have specified in the preferences that I want to open links from application in
a new tab in the current window ... but when I click on a link in an email
(Apple Discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3715540#3715540), in Firefox
this gets opened as new tab in the current window but in Webkit it opens in a
new window ...

Here is the raw source from a similar eMail"
