Occasionally, when browsing to websites using IE9 (9.0.8112.16421), a curious web address will appear in the status bar.
http://mail.live.com/?rru=compose%3Fsubject%3D {the+title+ title+ of+the+page}%26body%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2F{the site’s address, www.whatever.com}%2F
Could someone explain why this occurs and what it means when a similarly structured URL appears in the IE9 status bar?
The link shown in the status bar always includes the string http://mail.live.com/?rru=compose, which might otherwise indicate the cursor is hovering over something like a mailto link, except for the fact that within those pages there are no such hyperlinks. This string always includes the title of the current page along with the current site's web address.
I’ve noticed this more often appears whenever a page is first loaded. Refreshing the page or hovering over an actual hyperlink causes this information to be replaced.
