118616 - Mapi Preference should not be per-profile, but it should be the same all profiles

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Simple MAPI, defect)

Description

[Srilatha Moturi]

In Mozilla0.9.4, if the mapi preference is set, mozilla is the default mail 
client for all the users on a machine, but this not the case with the latest 
bits. 
On the Mozilla 0.9.4 branch, the value of the MAPI preference is determined 
based on the registry settings and the Mapi dll.
With the new code that landed on the trunk, the value of the MAPI preference is 
determined based on pref mailnews.default_mail_client.

The fix for bug # 123596 should solve this bug too.

Trix, can u please verify this. If you log in using different profiles you 
should see the same settings for Edit/Preferences/Mail and Newsgroup : "Use 
Mozilla/Netscape Mail as the default mail application" preference for all the 
profiles. If you change the pref using one profile you should see the changed 
settings when you login using another profile on the same system.
