158409 - Should we have a desktop icon for mail on XP sp1?

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 28174

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Curt Patrick (gone)]

XP sp1 sort of assumes that we will have a shortcut show up if user's select
mozilla for their default mail.  I think that we should give them something.  We
have a couple choices, I believe:

- Without changing anything about how we install the product, if the user
selects "Make mozilla my default mail" or "Show Icons" (which is supported in XP
sp1) for mozilla mail we can put the same shortcut on the desktop that we are
currently putting in the Programs Folder.  Of course, the icon for this shortcut
would look just like the icon for the browser, which might be a little confusin.
 But then it would be sort of confusing to say "Show Icons" and not have
anything happen, too.  I think it is better to actually give the user a shortcut
if the user asks for one.

- We could create a new icon for mozilla mail.  I don't know who would do this.
 Whether we install to the desktop or have it available if the user asks for
"Show Icons" is another question.  But this would be the cleanest way of being
really savvy with XP sp1.
