586490 - New font does not show up in subject box (or anywhere if sent by FireFox).

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Version 3.1.2

When I used "Tools" to change the font to larger size, it worked everywhere ecept in the Subject box.  When I got an account to report this bug, I was sent an email containing aURL to complete the process: all of the text fields were the old font!
As an aside, although it is no doubt cheaper for you to attempt to force users to scan through pages of bug reports, in the long run it just buysyou poor PR because people like me just aren't going to do it.  So you end up with possible repeats of bug reports anyway!

Subject is a header and thus can't contain any formating, so if we want to be able to send email as per RFC 822 (which defines emails) we can't style the subject.

I'm the only person being paid to read this, other are volunteers please be nice with them.
And on the subject of reading, you probably didn't read https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html which states one issue per bug.
