[Bug 280389] [NEW] Evolution, Thunderbird and Firefox should follow smb links

[SK]

Public bug reported:

Emails from windows users in the corporate setting often include links
to files on windows servers. Linux users should be able to operate
transparently in this space. So in outlook if I drag in a link to a file
in an email you get a hyber link like this:
"\\servername\path\to\file\file.ext". When receiving such an email I
have to edit to "smb://servername/path/to/file/" and paste into nautilus
or konquorer. The client (Evolution, Thunderbird and Firefox) should
follow those links transparently to the user (i.e. click/open).

On the composing side if I drag in a link from nautilus I get
"smb://servername/path/to/file/file.ext" that should get changed to
"\\servername\path\to\file\file.ext" so as to be universally usable.
