109343 - parser errors should be shown to user (via pref)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, enhancement)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

If Mozilla gets a "PARSER:Internal Syntax Error" the error should be shown to 
the user otherwise it will look like the mail mozilla failed to read is empty. 
optional this could be done via a pref that defaulted to false.

some kind of:
user_pref("mail.show_imap_errors", true);

[Jesse Ruderman]

Why make it a pref?  "Mozilla encountered a parser error while trying to display
this message" would make more sense than pretending the message is blank.  (Is
that the HTML parser or another parser?)

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

Would not add this.
