105628 - Newsgroup titles abbreviation should be optional, needs tooltips

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 23633

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Adam Lock]

Newsgroups titles are displayed like this:

n.p.m.xpcom
n.p.m.general
etc.

This is confusing if you're subscribed to multiple groups that are abbreviated
the same way, e.g. ie.general & iol.general display i.general so you have no
idea what group you're about to enter.

I believe there should be an option to toggle this abbreviation. 

Additionally there should be a tooltip displaying the group name when name has
been abbreviated, or when the column is too narrow to display it fully.
