You didn't have a bug like this. I couldn't find it.  However, you did comment
in bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14204 about this.

Warren,
I can't find that bug that originally described this problem, but this is still
broken on the mac. String bundles called in from a stream converter don't seem
to function.

[Warren Harris]

Does anybody care about this bug now?

Comment 6

[fenella]

Yes. I am still seeing it in today's Mac build (2000-01-12-08 M13)

Comment 7

[Warren Harris]

I asked if anyone cares. Since I haven't heard of any dependencies on this, I'm
inclined not to fix it.

Comment 8

[rhp (gone)]

Mail/news cares. Message display is broken for any strings we need to lookup.

Comment 9

[fenella]

Yes. Mail/News cares. It does not look good to have this problem on the attached
vcard message.

cc'ing sol.  Is it a beta1 requirement that vcard attachments work right?

I'm removing the pdt+ distinction for reconsideration.

Comment 13

[sol]

In the bug-a-rama, Mac users saw really bad vCard behaviors - empty boxes 
flashing on the screen with nothing in them.

I don't believe that the correct functioning of vCards is a beta-stopper by 
itself. But before clearing the beta1 designation of this bug, I'd like to hear 
if the improper functioning of string bundles causes other bad behavior in the 
Mail app.

Anyone?!

Hmmm, the string bundles shouldn't cause bizzare behavior in vCards. We are 
using <DIV>'s and tweaking the display: attribute on them. Very strange 
behavior would be playform parity layout issues.

Comment 15

[lchiang]

I'd need to know where else in mail we would use string bundles so that I can 
see the behavior on the Mac.

Comment 16

[rhp (gone)]

Hmm...not sure because it has to be running on the Necko thread. libmime/vCards 
are the only ones I can think of offhand.

PDT argued that Vcard performance was not critical for beta1
