102480 - Add a title for mailnews in tabbed mode

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Rune Skaug]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    2001092803

When I open a new tab (ctrl-T), entering the Messenger URL stated above, I get 
the mailnews, but the tab caption is "(Untitled)". It should be a little more 
descriptive, saying at least something like "Messenger" / "Mail & News" etc. It 
would also be nice if it indicated number of unread messages in the Inbox.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new tab (Ctrl-T)
2. Type in address field: chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul
3. Look at the tab caption

Actual Results:  It states "(Untitled)"

Expected Results:  Something more descriptive, like "Messenger"

Over to tabbed browser.  Mailnews is not HTML, so picking up the title element
does not work as it does for HTML pages...

By the way, loading chrome urls that way is not exactly a UI feature that should
be casually used... :)

this should be a general "chrome urls not showing a title".  But like bz says,
this can crash

Chrome in the tabs doesn't work and is not supported.
