299014 - Save message as file: need option to append to existing file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 134526

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Lucius Chiaraviglio]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When saving a message to a file, it would be good to have an option to append
the message to an existing file like some news readers do.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Save message to an existing file.

Actual Results:  
A dialog box will appear asking if you want to overwrite the existing file, but
currently you do not get an option to append to the file instead.


Expected Results:  
Instead of just letting you cancel or overwrite, also provide an option to
append to the existing file.  (This should put a text separator between
messages, like news readers that provide this option.)

I don't know how much code the Suite and Thunderbird share, but depending on how
much this could be a dupe of bug 134526.

Oops, should have duped the other way round
