> Emacs is configured (by default) to tell the browser to send mail.  So the browser has to figure out what it can use to send mail.  So it looks around and examines applications that are ready to send mail.  It happens the only such application is Emacs, so it launches another instance of Emacs.  Da capo al fine.

So it sounds like what happens is according to how you configured your
system.  Why do you consider this an Emacs bug?
