this was fine with builds from 2003.05.05, but regressed with builds from
2003.05.06.

this might be shuehan's.

Comment 3

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

over to shuehan to investigate

Comment 4

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

seth thinks might be due to bug 144828.

Comment 5

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

shuehan doesn't see this in her tree, but I see it.

that makes me think she hasn't checked everything in.

Comment 6

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

even worse

file | new  | message

fails!  I get an alert

"content/messengercompose/messengercompose.xul cannot be found"

file | new | addresbook card, same badness

I fear 1.4 beta went out the door with this.

Comment 7

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

maybe something is wrong with my build?

now that shuehan has landed the rest of
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144828

let me update and rebuild.

1.4b release under Win2000 is missing the shortcut ^M, but both "New Message"
and "New Address Book Card" work via the menu.

Comment 9

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

some observations using mozilla 1.4beta.

a. if i do a complete install, File - New - Message (and File - New - Address
Book Card) work fine. tested in both browser and mailnews 3pane windows.

b. if i do a navigator-only install, File - New - Message is still a menu item.
access it doesn't do anything. should it even be there in such installations?
fwiw, here's the js console output:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) [nsIExternalProtocolService.loadUrl]" 
nsresult: "0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://navigator/content/mailNavigatorOverlay.xul :: openExternalMailer ::
line 73"  data: no]

I clobbered and rebuilt, on win2k, and it is still horked.

Comment 11

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

the change to content.rdf for 144828, which just landed today, has made this a
blocker.

I can't open mail.

Attachment: put mailOverlay back

i had removed mailNavigatorOverlay from contents.rdf but mailOverlay is needed

is that on windows, mac, and/or linux?

I bet linux:
mozilla\uriloader\exthandler\unix\nsOSHelperAppService.cpp(1244)

NS_IMETHODIMP nsOSHelperAppService::LoadUrl(nsIURI * aURL)
{
  LOG(("-- nsOSHelperAppService::LoadUrl\n"));
  return NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED;
}

this sounds like the issue covered by bug #204621

Comment 18

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

yes, i saw the js error (comment 9) on linux.

[S. Burmeister]

Is this issue meant to be fixed in the 2003050811 build? If so this issue is not
resolved, as I am missing the mail icon in the statusbar and everything from
comment 6 is still not working for me.

Comment 23

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

this is fixed for me using 2003.05.09.05 comm bits on linux. let me see how
things are with a navigator-only installation.

Comment 24

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

in a navigator-only install (today's commercial on linux):

File - New - Message is still missing the keyboard shortcut, which doesn't seem
right. filed bug 205055 to cover that issue.

accessing that menu item doesn't work, but that's covered by bug 204621.

Mail icon absent in both status bar and Window menu, but that's expected
(confirmed by seth).
