16265 - [FEATURE] open the profile wizard when we open message compose and we have no identities

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

if you create a new profile (so it has no mail-news accounts) and then
immediately launch the compose window, you have no identities.

we should bring up the Account Wizard at this point.

now, we alert, telling the user they have no identities and then we open the
account wizard.

after the account wizard closes, we launch the compose window.

there are couple of weird bugs remaining.

1)  on linux, repainting isn't happening when I got next & back in the account
wizard.
2)  after creating an account with the wizard, I seem to have two:  the one I
created and a second "null" identity.  I need to debug this.

accepting bug.

fixed.

the weird bugs are gone now, and it works like it should.

in addition to this case being fixed, I fixes the case where you
run mozilla the first time, create a new profile, say mozProfile,
from the navigator open "tasks | address book", create a card and hit new
message.

you'll get the same alert, and then the wizard, and then your compose window.

I moved the alert text into a string bundle, so the i18n people should be
pleased as punch.
