199742 - column pickers in mailnews and address book should allow serial selections

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

1 create a new profile
2 open address book, the 14 colmuns for fields are displayed by default

If you want to only show names and emails you will have to click on the column
picker widget 13 times and unselect each field one at a time. Extremely annoying
and time consuming. You have to do the same for mail columns and the adress book
selection window from a compose window. This is very clumsy and less efficient
than Netscape 4 or Outlook Express.

I think that what we should have is a similar drop down list which would allow
multiple selection and would have an OK button to validate the changes like :

+--------------------+
| x Email            |
| x Screen name      |
| x Company          |
| x Nickname         |
| x Additional Email |
| x Department       |
| x Title            |
| x etc.             |
+--------------------+
|        OK          | 
+--------------------+

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
