Offline has not yet been fully implemented.  I believe this is really a
duplicate of bug 71581, where the mail window doesn't have offline switching
state capabilities yet.  When that is fixed, all mail windows should work or
then be looked at.  Calling this a duplicate.

Well, I see bug 71581 is now fixed, but that didn't help the offline indicator
in search messages ui.

Marking NEW.

I noticed that the Manage Boomarks and the Search Bookmarks/History windows 
both have the same non-functional icon.  Should a seperate log be logged for 
these?

[Chris Lyon]

As of build 2001050904 the online/offline icon on the Manager Bookmarks window
has been removed.

Should is simply be removed from Search Bookmarks/History and Search Messages as
well?

Chris, yes we should remove the Offline icon from Search [sspitzer and I talked
about this earlier today].

Taking bug.

Sigh. www.doisuckornot.com

All my attempts to hide the offline icon failed. I tried messing around with the
status* CSS classes, but none of them satisfied me...

Giving back to Seth... or, varada do you want this?

Since we're about to have offline search, do we want to hide this in the Search 
dialog (of course if it's going to be really hard to make this work in Search 
then I'm in favor of hiding it instead of having it show and not work)?

[David :Bienvenu]

I think it would be better to show the icon and make it work (which should be
fairly trivial, especially if it just toggles the offline state). As you say,
Scott, since we have offline search, and some users would prefer us to search
the local database instead of the server and have control over that, and the
offline icon is an easy way to accomplish that.

You have two choices:
or
1. Use all the communicator overlays: communicator, security, tasks, utility.
   Note that this will cause the lock to appear which might be confusing.
or
2. Roll a new status bar instead of using Messenger's (c.f. Bookmarks):

Doing a little cleanup. There couple of bugs all similar to
each other (this one and bug 79801). Seth made a more general
catch all bug (bug 80970).

So I'm going to mark this as dupe of bug 80970
