So I built from svn revision 942:
- Pantomime framework,
- GNUMail.
Did make_services.

Unfortunately, I had still this unexpected behaviour:

Clicking on a link from a message read in GNUMail:
1) Firefox.app is called and launched: but it opens a new default tab, 
not the expected URL;
2) After several seconds, an NSAlert Panel said: "No service matching 
'OpenURL'";
3) After I closed this panel, the expected URL was finally opened in a 
new tab.

Cheers,
Patrick
