101162 - subfolders of sent folder show "recipient" (instead of "sender"), but still showing sender

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 93863

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

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

I thought I got this right when I fixed #61651.  must have regressed.

from the newsgroup:

In my Sent folder, the message summary window displays a
"Recipient" column instead of a Sender column.  The value
for this column is the first entry in each email's To: field.

I periodically take my Sent folder (usually when it get's to
~500-600 messages) rename it to Sent_<Date> and make it a
sub-folder of Sent.  This is to speed things up and make
sync'ing a couple of different machines easier

When I look at one of these renamed Sent folders in Mozilla
0.9.4, I still get the Recipient column, but the value is
the From: field (the sender) rather than the To: field (like
the actual Sent folder).

Seems rather inconsistent to me, since the email is
From: my email, but the column title is Recipient.  I would
prefer that this behave like the normal Sent folder (Recipient
column derived from email To: list).

This bug is still present on Mozilla 0.9.5 (Build 2001101117), and is some kind
of regression of bug 61651 and bug 82909, which have been marked both as FIXED
right now.

I would suggest marking mozilla0.9.6 as target milestone and putting keywords
"mail4" and "mozilla0.9.6".

Reopen this bug because it is not a duplicate.

Bug 93863 is an RFE, not a bug. Title of 93863 is "Sent folder shows Sender
address not Receiver". Now a sent subfolder shows Receiver column but still
shows Sender address!!

I think that someone has tried to implement RFE 93863 and has made a mistake.
And now it is an RFE bad implemented, so it is a bug. In my opinion, a stupid
and very ugly bug which nobody want to solve.

this is a dup of 93863.  The description of the bug was referring to subfolders
so I changed the summary.

Hey can someone tell me how to fix that bug under Mac OS X
Mozilla RC3?
Sorry pals, but I don't know a clue about how to use "patches"
that are text files.
If someone can help. Sorry again for annoyance
