125952 - Go -> Next/Previous -> UnreadWatchedThread

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Stuart Summerville]

When doing quick ng checks, it would be nice to just be able to hit a keystroke
to effect:

     Go -> Next/Previous -> UnreadWatchedThread

to jump to the next/previous thread that I've flagged as being watched, that has
new replies. Manually going into each group and effecting
View->Messages->WatichedWithUnread is somewhat painful for anything but a few
groups.

Also, since this is likely to only involve a small(ish) subset of the total list
of ng's I'm subscribed to, it would be nice if it didn't ask if I wanted to
consider the *next* group after the one I'm in. That operation is fine when just
browsing new messages, but not so appropriate when only touching a subset of the
groups.

AgentNews has this feature, and its damn handy.

I think that it should ask before crossing newsgroups. You could have a
"Remember this decision" checkbox, however.

CONFIRMING, because it's a valid and good suggestion, assuming that there's no dup.

Can I extend this rfe?

If so, then also useful along these lines: having MOZ change the icon of all
groups to indicate the existence of such watched threads with unread messages.
Just like the thread itself shows the downward green arrow, so could the
newsgroups icon.

sTu.

Stuart: pleaae do not "extend" RFEs. The policy is: one issue per bug. Make a
new bug for your suggestion--and, if necessary, mark it as depending on this one
(I don't think there's a dependency however).

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
