Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[rsx11m]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1144693 +++

Spinning this off the other bug as it appears to be a separate issue.

(Quoting rsx11m from bug 1144693 comment #1)
> When I get notifications, they are incomplete and only state the account
> along with a preview of the message text, but neither the sender nor the
> subject are provided in the notification despite all respective boxes
> checked in the preference settings.

Per bug 1165320 comment #13, this regression was missed by the current tests with a Mock Alert Service used in mail/test/mozmill/notification/test-notification.js, thus should be revisited.

After two years, can someone confirm if this is still an issue?

I just wanted to chime in and mention libnotify notifications on Thunderbird Daily (60) on Arch Linux are showing sender, subject and body preview nicely.
