Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 224519

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721

I delete labels from emails already received, but leave the emails themselvs.
This works until an index crashes and gets rebuilt, I install an update or
sometimes compress the mailboxes. Then the removed labels magically re-appear.
-Barry


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add a label to an email in inbox
2.leave and then re-enter Mozilla (quicklaunch also to be sure all files are
saved to disk)
3.Re-enter Mozill.a and then delete the label from this email.
4. rebuild index or compact mailbox (compacting doesn't always do it..)
5. Notice labels are back

Actual Results:  
Label re-appears on the email.

Expected Results:  
Kept the label gone

I'm also seeing this behaviour with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827. May be related to Bug 209164.
