Many times I open many messages after computer started, and I start my work with
another applications.
When I have some pauses in work, I read one, or two or these opened messages.
But: when I open a message in morning, and I want to reply to/forward it in
afternoon, the reply/forward buttons not working. They are not disabled, but
they not working.

In this time I must find them again, close their opened msg windows, reopen it,
and then I can reply or forward...

I don't understand: have it a time limit ?




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail window in morning
2. Try to reply/forward in this window
3. That is not working

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

I saw this problem with TB 2.0.0.16 (20080708) pt-BR under Win2k SP4. Nor the "Reply"/"Reply to all" buttons neither Ctrl-R/Ctrl-Shift-R work. Just nothing happens, if the message is opened for a long time. If I close and reopen the message, then the commands above work normally again. I'd suggest the bug to be reopened.
Thanx
