29199 - UI: Inconsistent use of "." and ":"

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

Go into the Account Setting dialog and select the "Server" so that you get 
"Server Settings"
Some of the sentences have a "." in the end of the line. Some dont!
"Save Password" has.
"Auto download" hasn't

There needs to be consitency in the text.

Actually the dialog seriously needs a make over!

It's impossible to see the difference between (your) text and (my) settings.

This is a polish bug and should be easy to address.  But, we will have many 
polish bugs for nsbeta3 and this is not very noticeable so I will mark future 
milestone with a helpwanted keyword.

rotted, but it is a patch.

I've got to check these changes against the spec.

It looks more consistent now and matches the spec.

The only thing I see wrong now is in the "Outgoing (SMTP) Server" panel. The top
right area has 3 lines which describes what should be entered in the Serve Name.
The problem is that there is no "." at the end of the paragraph when one should
be present.

ok, I've fixed the one "." that Ninoschka found.

marking fixed based on nbaca's comments.

comments.
