Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 190044

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Jon Roland]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

When retrieving messages, "Transferring data" message at bottom of window
pre-empts the much more useful "Retrieving message n of m" message, which
prevailed in previous versions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Retrieve messages from server.
2. Try to discern how many messages are on the server, and what is the number of
the message currently being retrieved.
3.

Actual Results:  
Counts of the current message and number to be retrieved, if they appear at all,
appear too briefly to be readable.

Expected Results:  
Show counts of message being retireved and number to be retrieved for long
enough to be able to read them.

Maybe dupe of or related to bug 190044

Yes, this does seem to be the same as bug 190044, which I did not find when
doing a search on the words "Transferring data". Solution would seem to be to
suppress the message "Transferring data" when a count of the current and total
number of messages to be retrieved is available.
