Comment (by PeterT):

 Please help!

 All of the following links are converted (within the URL window) to the
 same -non working- local URL file:///\\server... and therefore produce
 "error opening this file"

 file:///\\server1\...
 file://\\server1\...
 file:/\\server1\...
 file:////\\server1\...
 file://///\\server1\...
 file://server1\Firma\...

 Note: we use PIDGIN 2.10.6 (libpurple 2.10.6) on Windows7 - 64Bit
