It also happened on the Linux platform for today's commercial build

I have seen this on yesterday and today's build. I can click on Reply or
Reply-All to open the compose window. But the To field is empty (see bug 17025)
and I cannot type in Body (see bug 16931)

This only happens on using the HTML compose editor though.

I have just installed the official build from today on Windows and button Reply
or Reply All bring a message compose window. Of course, we cannot edit the reply
(bug 16931) and the to field is empty (bug 17025). Despite those bugs,
everything is "fine" for me!

michaell, could you explain me why to you mean by "nothing appends"? What does
you output window (the black dos window) say?
This was using yesterday's build.  I'll try it using todays soon.  I actually
see no mail compose window come up at all.  I click the buttons or select the
menu items and there is no activity on the screen whatsoever.
Still happening with build # 1999102208
That's exactly the build I am using, with a brand new profile.

michaell, it's very important that you give me the content of your output
window once (wait 10-20 secs) you have pressed the reply button. Thanks
Target Milestone: M11
It says:
"MsgReplyMessage from XUL

ComposeMessage from XUL
i = 0"
Actually, I can't bring up a plain message compose window, either.
...using the "new message" button.
Very strange, messenger compose is never started! But the reply button action is fired. Something looks like very
brocken in your install. Try this:

1) delete the file component.reg, it's a the same level that mozilla.exe
2) start mozilla again and do a new message

if it still not working, I will come to see you Monday.
QA, are you able to reproduce this problem?
No, we don't have a problem with the compose window not appearing in today's
build.

michael - can you start apprunner with the -compose flag?
michael - are there other areas of the product where there are buttons that you
can click to invoke another window?  If so, does that work for you?
The button woks because we get the following output wich is executed when messager receive the reply command:
MsgReplyMessage from XUL

But for some reason, the script never reach the line where we open the compose window (or this call failed). What
strange here is that we don't get any error message in the output window!
Hmmm.  I'm not able to open a compose window, but I am able to open a new Nav
window and I'm able to open Messenger from Navigator.

I'll try deleting my component.reg file.

Must be reproducible for dogfood.  PDT-

Sorry I've been quiet on this.  I just deleted everything - all of seamonkey,
all of my user profiles, and the mozregistry.dat file - and reinstalled.  I
still cannot access any kind of composition. I also tried to launch mozilla with
the -compose flag, to no avail.

I think this means that I have a reproducable case of the bug, at least on
my machine.  Therefore, I'm removing the [PDT-] designation from the status bar
Whiteboard: [PDT-]
[PDT-] means that was an approuved second category dogfood bug. I am putting it back.

Summary: [Dogfood] Can't reply to a message → [Dogfood] Composer files not included in install

OK.  I've figured out what's going on.  The Ender team has not synched up
with the install team to ensure that all of their files are being included in
the
isntall.

I am reassigning the bug to Beppe and changing the QA contact to Gerardo.
I'm also changing the summary to reflect the accurate status.  Cc'ing
Cathleen.

Removing PDT- designation.  All this does is makes sure that the PDT
team reexamines the bug with the new information for inclusion in "dogfood"
status.
Whiteboard: [PDT+]
Approved for PDT+ :-)
getting the data together with a list of any new files that may be introduced in
the near future. I'll pass the data on to Cathleen as soon as I get it compiled.
QA Contact: gerardok → sujay
*** Bug 17383 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
sent the list of Composer files to Cathleen. Once they get incorporated into the
installer, the install will need to be tested to ensure composer launches
correctly.

Build 1999102808M11: Win32/NT4

Overview: I am unable to open the Compose window by selecting the "New Msg"
button or File/New Message. I can select Tasks/Composer and the Editor window
appears. The Compose window launches for me if I extract the files using
mail.xpi but not with a seamonkey32e.exe installation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the seamonkey32e.exe file to a temp directory
2. Run the "seamonkey32e.exe" file so the installation begins.
3. When the installation prompts for a directory path change it from the
default. I used c:\32nt4\seamonk.
4. The end of the installation automatically launches the Profile Manager so
select a profile that has already been migrated.
5. Start Mail
6. Select the "New Msg" button
7. From the menu select File/New Message

Actual Results: Nothing happens. The Compose window does not launch. The console
states "ComposeMessage from XUL".

Expected Results: I would have expected a Compose window to appear.

Additional Information:
- The Compose window launches for Esther running Win95 and Fenella running NT4
after running the seamonkey32e.exe installation.
- The placement of the Taskbar buttons are slightly different on systems where
the Compose window launches and where it doesn't launch.

On systems that work (i.e. Esther and Fenella's) there is more space between the
"New Msg" and "Reply" button. There is also more space between the "Forward" and
"Next" button.

On my system, where it does not work, all the taskbar buttons are evenly spaced.

- I tried a basic install
- I tried a complete install
- I tried an existing profile (pop and imap)
- I tried a migrated profile
- I tried deleting the registry file and the user profiles and migrating again
- I tried launching with "mozilla.exe -installer" and creating a new profile.
If I can get someone from Mail QA or even michaell to verify
this bug, that would be great...
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
It now works for me.  Marking verified.
