218739 - New message sound preference not honored

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 194632

Description

[Warren Magnus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030721
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 (20030902)

Selecting valid .wav files does not result in playing the .wav on new mail.
Instead the default system beep is always played.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open thunderbird prefs, general prefs pain
2. set "When new mail arrives:" to "Play a sound" = yes
3. select a local .wav file

Actual Results:  
You get the default system beep on new mail arrival

Expected Results:  
In this case, it should play the .wav, either the bosuns whistle or the Babylon
5 door chime depending on which I chose.

I see this same bug in Mozilla, from version 1.0 all the way through to 1.6b.

Apart from being marked "Thunderbird", is this a dupe of Bug 194632 ?
