When searching for email messages, the column 'Size' cannot be chosen for
displaying for the results.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla Mail
2. Do Tools -> Search Messages
3. Search for any message(s)

Actual Results:  
The 'Size' property cannot be displayed for found (searched for) emails.

Expected Results:  
One should be able to see the size of a set of found email messages. If, say,
one wanted to eliminate their largest email messages around, this is necessary.

is it difficult to add size?  sure would be nice to have.

Comment 2

[Ion Chalmers Freeman]

Yes, it'd be nice to display the size of found messages. Even better would be 
the ability to search on size.

Attachment: Patch to show Size Column

This patch removes the hide function call for the size column on the search
results pane. I have not found any problems with enabling this column, and once
bug 19402 has been fixed, then this change will very useful to have for the
user.

Do avairy and 1.7.x want this fix as well? This allows the user to view the
size of message in the results column if they wish. May be wanted especially if
bug 19402 fix gets put into the appropriate branch.

Verified FIXED: the "Size (KB)" column is present and seems to be working fine, too.
