72456 - "Mark Newsgroup read" in context menu stopped working

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[R.K.Aa.]

linux 20010318
Select a newsgroup with unread messages
Right-click to bring up context-menu
Select "Mark newsgroup read"

Result: Count remains as it was - neither folder nor messages are indicated as
marked read. On next startup of mailnews, the unread messages are still unread.

I see that this is targetted for mozilla0.9.1 but I still want to nominate it
for mozilla 0.9. I do this because "Mark Newsgroup read" is the only way I know
of to zero the unread count when it is out of sync with reality. Since the
unread count is wrong I can't navigate with the SPACE (or N - Next message).

I'm wondering if this is more label/value fallout?

Comment 6

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

fixed.

no, this is not label/value fallout.

I forgot to re-implement a function after the mailnews perf landing.

there is a minor bug that I found now that it works.  see bug #74835

Verified Fixed.  Marking newsgroups works with both the context menu and the
Message | Mark menu.  Restarting Mozilla keeps the same message read status.
