Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 142737

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Jim Davis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

When receiving a message with a receipt request, the dialog reads:

.----
| The sender of this message has asked to be notified when you read this message.
| Do you wish to notify the sender?
| [OK] [Cancel]
`----

It seems obvious which choice does what, but [Yes] and [No] buttons would
probably make a little more sense.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive a message with a return-receipt-request.
Actual Results:  
"Do you wish to notify the sender?  [OK] [Cancel]"

Expected Results:  
"Do you wish to notify the sender?  [Yes] [No]"

Well, this is consistent with the rest of Mozilla. Most of the question have
ok/cancel. I don't like it either, but some people do.

This is really a dupe of bug 142737. That asks for the "Send", "Don't send"
style of answer, but thats all subject to the great (never-ending) debate on
whether you can use verbs to answer yes no questions, and whether its better.
