131095 - Watched threads don't always show as watched

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 122640

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

If you watch a thread, then in most cases you can see the cute little "watched" 
icon next to the first message in the thread (ie, over the "twisty")

However, if you are using "View Unread", (or looking at the first message in 
what is soon to become a thread) and there is only one single message in this 
thread visible, no such icon is displayed.  There is no indication that this 
single message is in a watched thread.  Further, selecting "Watch Thread" on 
this message has no effect - the visible state of the message remains unchanged.

Note that when there is only 1 message in the thread visible, Mozilla 
(correctly) does not display an outliner twisty for collapsing and expanding 
the thread.  My guess is that this is why the watch icon does not show up for 
these messages.

Oops - fixing summary as some words were left in and obviously scrolled to the 
right :)

This is a duplicate of bug 122640.
Also, we don't put up the icon in a flat sort view such as View Unread would
typically be.
