577514 - Remove redundant pref-offline UI which was commented out since 2001.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Philip Chee]

In preferences.xul I see this comment:

      <!-- commented out until bug 82487 is fixed 
      <treeitem id="offlineItem"
                label="&offline.label;"
                helpTopic="mail_prefs_offline"
                url="chrome://communicator/content/pref/pref-offline.xul"/>
      -->

However bug 82487 is long since fixed. Meanwhile the UI for this pref has moved to Mail&Newsgroups -> Offline&Disk Space.

To quote Bug 221734 comment 19:

I propose to remove the communicator pref-offline UI since:
1. It's the old XPFE <panel> so would need to be totally rewritten anyway.
2. Commented out since 2001 and nobody noticed in the intervening 9 years, or at least enough to care.
3. There is functional UI in the prefwindow that deals with this pref anyway.
