First: It's not comm-central code and so the Seamonkey devs didn't close it. From the comment it seems Mozilla now believes that if it's a fault in their mozilla-central code and doesn't affect Firefox or another mozilla-central product it can be closed at will if no patch is attached. Not sure if this is true but it looks that way.
Second: Are you sure this hasn't been fixed in between? I can select both links in the description just fine and Mail & Newsgroups opens. On your test page the Server unstated links do not work at all in Seamonkey. On Mon, 8 Feb 2016 07:54:06 -0800, David E.
