1581508 - Improve RSS feed display in SeaMonkey

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Ian Neal]

Bug 787612 fixed an issue with printing RSS feed items
SM now behaves the same way as TB for how the display is toggled between web and summary, as mentioned by frg in that bug's comment 6, it is a bit confusing because the message is always displayed as a web page and the menu options only affect the preview in the 3pane.

Comment 1

[Ian Neal]

Old behaviour was:
1/ In the 3pane window, if Message > Open Feed Message is set to toggle, then toggling with double click does not update the pref/view "Feed Message Body As" menu.
2/ If the message is a feed item then "Feed Message Body As" in view menu is always shown.

New behaviour will be:
1/ In the 3pane window, if Message > Open Feed Message is set to toggle, then toggling with double click updates the pref/view "Feed Message Body As" menu.
2/ If the message is a feed item then "Feed Message Body As" in view menu is only shown in the 3pane window not in a standalone message window.

I think having "Open Feed Message" under Message menu is confusing, I think it belongs in preferences but that potential change belongs in another bug.
