202897 - the "remove expired messages" function in the news client spawns new windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 129574

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[Pat Richey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

When clearing expired messages from newsgroups (by clicking on the "remove 
expired messages" link in the expired message) spawns a new mail window.  I 
think the correct behavior would be to refresh the exisiting window, and not 
spawn a new one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on an expired message
2. Click on the "Remove Expired Messages" link in the message body

Actual Results:  
A new mail window was spawned, without closing the old one.

Expected Results:  
Either refreshed the current window (better), or opened a new window and 
closed the old one (not better)
