4733 - Move Message displays "Re:" before the Subject text, NT4

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Ninoschka Baca]

NT4, Build 4/7/99, Apprunner's Browswer window shows Build ID 1999040710 in the
bottom right corner of the screen.

Problem: Highlight a message in the Inbox, notice the Subject (i.e. Test),
select the Message menu, select Move Message and choose a folder (i.e. FolderA).
Go to FolderA and notice that the message is there but it now begins with an
"Re:" so it actually displays "Re: Test".

I tried switching to a different folder and switching back but the "Re:"
remains. If I exit and restart Mail and switch to FolderA then the "Re:"
no longer exists and the subject displays correctly, "Test". I reproduced this
on Fenella's NT4.0 system.

The same scenario in Win95 never displays a subject with an "Re:" so it appears
to be an NT4.0 problem.

I'm going to reassign this to bienvenu, but there may not be a bug here.

Could you look in 4.5 and make sure that the original message doesn't have a Re:
in front of it before you move it.

There were some status problems that David fixed earlier this week that required
you to delete your .msf files.  To do this, go into the directory that holds
your mail folders.  Look for the files that end in .msf and delete them.  Then
run again.

I tried this and it isn't happening to me.

I looked at Ninoschka's machine and saw what was happening.  Ignore my previous
response.

I think this is happening because we're not copying over all of the fields in
the header when we do CopyMsgFromHdr.  So, the date and flags are wrong.  When
you start up again and are actually reparsing the mailbox, everything looks ok.

the flags weren't getting copied over. Since the copy hdr code is just a place
holder until mork implements some stuff, this isn't a big deal, so I wouldn't
hold m4 for it.

fixed in nsMsgDatabase.cpp

Can't verify until bug 5793 is fixed (Move doesn't provide list for moving to).

Comment 6

[lchiang]

Ninoschka - pls verify.  Bug 5676 is marked fixed so you should be able to
verify.

Bug 5793 has nothing to do w/ this bug.

Win32 (NT4) build 1999-05-03-08.
Unable to verify this because bug 5676 is still not fixed.

Win32 (NT4) build 1999-05-04-08.
Verified Fixed. It now moves a message without adding "Re:" before the subject
text.
