169180 - Only time displayed on date field when printing mail messages received that day.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Printing, defect)

When printing an email received the same day, the actual date is left out of the
"Date" column in Mozilla mail (as it is meant to do - and I like it!), but when
the message is printed, the date is still missing. Surely the date should be
included on hard copies?? These are usually filed away or kept for reference etc
and it would be nice to know the date.

Not sure if this has a simple fix, or even if it is a duplicate. The new
bugzilla thing seemed to get very confused. The drop down combos within the
iframe were displayed in the wrong place (just the "dropped down" bit!).

Sorry for the trouble if this is a duplicate etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a mail message received on the current date.
2. Confirm that only the time is displayed in the date column in the mail window.
3. Print it.

Actual Results:  
The date header in the printout only displayed the time, not the full date.

Expected Results:  
I think it would be better if it printed out the full date regardless of the
fact that it was received that day. I think this should be for print only, as
the dropping of the date for today's emails is a nice feature on screen.

This is pretty trivial, but important if you want Mozilla Mail to be used more
widespread (especially as a companies default/supported mail client).

Marking WORKSFORME. Reopen if the bug still exists.

This bug also looks like a duplicate of bug #90122, although it was opened after
that bug was already marked WFM.

Confirmed as working correctly in Moz 1.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;
