93646 - Should be able to do something else IN Moz while sending mail

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 66647

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Benjamin Mucci]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.2+) Gecko/20010803
BuildID:    2001080304

If you send someting "big" while the transfert occures nothing is accessible in
mozilla. Cannot send the status window "Sending Messages" in background an play
around with the browser or something else IN mozilla.

It's possibly a regression... don't remember the behavior in earlier versions.

Duplicate of one of Hakan's bugs about removing that dialog entirely..

[Greg K.]

Bug 28348 implemented the progress window bug for 0.9.2 as discussed in [http://
www.mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/proposals/SendingMail.html]. That bug also discusses a 
method to suppress the dialog by manually editing preferences.

Providing an option to stop sending mail is bug 66647.

Perhaps that dialog would have been better implemented by creating a Sending Status 
toolbar on the Compose window in XUL. That would have avoided the modality of the 
0.9.2 dialog.
