97901 - Visibility of read/unread msg through font type

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Thommie Rother]

In the newsgroups list, thos newsgroups with new stuff are automatically
"highlighted" in bold characters (see attachment 303 [details] [diff] [review]). The list of messages
INSIDE the newsgroup does not behave the same way (see 304).
The Appearance, Fonts section of Edit, PReferences has the standard settings
aside from the fact that I changed "sans-serif" from Times to Arial.

Which buildID are you using? Can you please try with the latest nightly from
www.mozilla.org and see if this is fixed? Do you have any reproducible steps, so
we can try to reproduce this?

Hm, I have Mozilla 0.9.3
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801. Sorry, I
dindn't realize that you provide precompiled Win binaries which are newer than
the latest milestone. Will re-test on the latest build from this night.

Re-tested on 0.9.3+
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010831
The steps: Do an update of a newsserver. Some newsgroups are marked "bold" as
they contain new stuff. Then go to the msg which are new in those groups. In the
old NS4x those msg were marked bold as well in the list of all msg INSIDE a
group - like the newsgroups in the groups list. After reading those new msg, the
msg count in the newsgroup list is updated but I can not see any change in the
font weight of the read msg. I wouldeexpect them to go from "bold" to normal as
well. View Messages is set to "all" here.
