This falls under the heading of "things IE View can't control".  In a
nutshell, here's what happens:

1.	You click the email link
2.	Firefox is launched with:
	
https://arsweb.msfc.nasa.gov/ncrs.asp?eid=CR-000000002769

3.	Firefox sends that request to the web server
4.	The web server immediately tells Firefox to load the page at


https://arsweb.msfc.nasa.gov/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=NCRS-NDC+Change+Request+System&view=webNCRS&server=msbravo
4&eid=CR-000000002769

	instead
5.	Firefox starts loading *that* page
6.	*Now* IE View is told that a page is loading (the new address)
7.	That address matches the load-in-IE list, and off we go.

Basically, addresses that do immediate redirects to another address will
not play well with IE View.  Sorry, wish I had a better answer.
