118417 - To: field should be available as a message list column

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 36492

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20020103

This bug is probably a duplicate, but I couldn't find one. The closest I found
was #60578.

I would like to be able to list the "to"-address in my message lists.

At the moment you can only select:

Thread, Subject, Sender, Read, Date, Status, Size, Flag, Label, Priority,
Unread, Total.

Why would the "to-address" also be useful?

Simple. I would like to see (and be able to sort) folders according to which
e-mail address the mail was sent to.

This is especially useful if you have a catch-all address (like [e-mail]
; [e-mail]) and where work and info end up being sent to the same mail
login. So when you pick them up it would be nice to see which ones were sent to
work and which ones to info.

This should be really easy to implement.

Attachment: partial patch

altho this bug very likely is a dupe, I slapped together a nearly functinal
patch.

it fulfills the rfe, with one major missing detail:
the To address isn't shown. but it is sorted by it tho.
This is due to me not beeing very experienced with xul.

I think that the bug that you are searching is 36492
  "Optional separate Recipient and From columns in thread pane"

Alfonso,

The bug you mentioned offers even better functionality. If Bug #36492 is fixed,
so will this one.

While the mentioned bug is not a 100% dupe, it is close enough for me. Marking
this bug as a dupe.
