Windows only,  build 19990709 the drop down menus in the addressing field are
not accessible until you collapse then expand the addressing panel.

0. Have at least 3 mail accounts set up.
1. Launch Messenger
2. Click New Msg
3. Click on the From:  drop down arrow.  It doesn't drop down a list.  It should
4. Repeat #3 for the 2nd and 3rd To: fields.  No drop down list.
5. Collapse then expand this addressing pane by clicking on the bar to the left
of the addressing pane.
6. Now repeat steps 3  & 4.  All the drop down lists appear now.

does the problem occurs only with the from drop down list or with the recipient type drop down list too?

Build 1999071408M8: Win32/NT4

The problem occurs in the following areas:
1. The "From:" drop down list.
2. There are three "To:" drop down lists, is this what you mean by the recipient
drop down list? If so, the 1st drop down list expands but the the 2nd and 3rd do
not.

The addressing dropdown menus are created dynamically by duplicating the first
dropdown menu. This works fine on Mac and Unix. I need to reassign this bug
either to xul folk or to widget folk. which one?
I don't know who to assign this to either.  Scott, would you have any ideas?
Thanks.

reassigning to trudelle since this sounds like something XPToolkit would be
working on.

Without having looked at it, this sounds like a duplicate of another bug on
hierarchial submenus not working for popups on windows. If this is the same
thing, this should be fixed when XP menus start doing the popups.

There is no really easy fix for this, definitely not in the M9 timeframe. So I'm
going to set target for M10 (hyatt, feel free to retarget for XP popups
timeframe)
