Linux (1999-09-16-09 M11)
Win_nt 4.0 (09-16-09 M11)
Mac (1999-09-16-08 M11)
1. From Messenger, select Inbox, I have several Unread messages (status shows
green diamond)
2. Select View|Messages|Unread,
Actual result: Nothing happens. In the console window of the Linux and the
Win_nt, an error message is displayed:
gViewUnreadMsgsJavaScript Error: view is not defined
URL: chrome://messenger/content/widgetglue.js
LineNo: 203
Expected result: Only Unread messages should be displayed in the thread pane.
This happens to all 3 platforms.

Reassign to putterman, TFV M15. Also generalized subject to indicate that no
View|Messages options are expected to work right now.

Using Dec15 commerical builds on all platforms:
I noticed a nasty side issue with View|Message|Unread:
If you try using View Unread, it won't take effect on the current/selected
folder (we know this). HOWEVER, when you switch to other (I'm using IMAP)
folders which are indeed populated (but have no unread), they will not load the
thread pane -- I'm assuming it's trying to invoke the Unread view. Once in this
state, you must do a View|Message|All in order to get the thread pane to load in
any folders but the initial one (inbox) you did the View Unread on.  Ick.

In the Menu item View|Message|Mark|As Unread, the dot "." has been removed,
which means this menu suppose to work, right?
Anyway using Linux and Mac (2000-01-12-08 M13), and Win32 (2000-01-12-11 M13),
this problem is still there.

This bug describes behavior related to the View|Messages menu where it displays 
the Unread and Read options. The Summary of this bug should actually change to 
state "[FEATURE] View|Messages|* does not work".

Another bug should be opened for "[FEATURE] View|Message does not work" 
explaining that this item will open the current message in a new window.

If this sounds ok then I can make the changes or if someone else wants to make 
the changes then that's fine too.

[lchiang]

Go ahead and clarify and make changes, Ninoschka.

Comment 8

[Ninoschka Baca]

Changing Summary to "View|Messages|* does not work".

Comment 9

[scottputterman]

marking as P1, at least the View|Messages|Unread part.

Comment 10

this got rejected by PDT.  We still need to do threads with unread and the 
unread view in threaded mode.  I want to hold onto this bug for a possible 
intern project. So I'm moving to M20 and removing feature to make it not show up 
on PDT's radar.

Comment 11

[scottputterman]

moving to M21 to hold onto this and get it off radar.

Comment 12

[scottputterman]

changed my mind. Moving to future milestone.

Bug 45252 has been written to remove menu items

Comment 14

[scottputterman]

nominating for mail3

Comment 15

[scottputterman]

reassigning to sspitzer

Comment 16

[scottputterman]

adding nsbeta1- keyword.  We'll eventually get to a place where this can work,
but things like making threads behave correctly need to be improved first.

[Håkan Waara]

Worksforme on Windows98. Build 2001011004.
