This is easy to do if you can control the command line that your mailer 
uses when sending links to Mozilla.

Usually you will see a command similar to this:

mozilla [-noraise] -remote openURL($xuri)

where "$xuri" is whatever variable your mailer uses to send the URL to 
mozilla.  If you can change this command to:

mozilla [-noraise] -remote openURL($xuri,new-tab)

then mozilla will open a new tab for the link.  This is independent of 
MultiZilla - it's a straight mozilla feature.

(The "[-noraise]" is optional and causes mozilla to stay in the background 
instead of popping forward.  That's the way _I_ like it...)
