The behavior stays the same with the most recent version KDE 4.6.2/Kmail 1.13.5
Comment 2 Kevin Clevenger 2013-12-05 16:53:23 UTC 
This is still happening with 4.11.3. In addition to opening two tabs in a new browser window it fails to reuse an existing window if one is available. Please see the way Konversation handles links (opens a new single tab in an existing window) as a example how to do this correctly.

work fine here :)
We don't use several method to open links (same as konversation).

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
