202776 - Mail does not display tooltips when mouse positioned over HTML tags with title attribute

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 90642

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect)

Description

[Trevor Turton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When Mail renders an email encoded in HTML with tags that include title
attributes, it does not display tooltips with the text from the title attribute
when the mouse hovers over the tag in question - unlike the Mozilla browser,
which does.  Example of HTML that should get a tooltip:

<p title='Tooltip text goes here'>Static text goes here</p>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose an HTML doc with tags that have tooltips.
2.Cut and paste this doco into a new email, or append it, and send it to yourself.
3.Read the mail in Mozilla Mail and hover mouse over HTML with associated title.

Actual Results:  
No tooltip appears in mail agent, whereas it would if the same doc were
displayed in the Mozilla browser or (dare I mention it) the Outlook, Eudora, and
Opera mail clients.

Expected Results:  
Display the title text as a tooltip.
