266749 - actions for RSS feeds (folders)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

in order to improve the usability of the RSS account in tbird, I think we should
improve what's seen for the RSS feeds (folders). (I couldn't quite find a bug
that covers these issues, so this does cover several issues --let me know if
separate ones should be spun off.)

when an RSS feed (folder) is selected:

a. refreshing feeds. currently the only way to do this is when the toplevel RSS
account in the folder pane is selected: then you can hit accel+T, or select the
main menu or context menu item to get messages. why not allow this action when a
n individual feed is selected?

b. context menu for an RSS feed contains quite a few items --which are really
relevant for an RSS feed? could some of these be removed, or are they all
appropriate actions?

oh, I just doublechecked (a), and now it looks like accel+T has been implemented
to work on the individual feed level. (in older builds I had noticed that it
didn't, but it works in today's build.)

unless others disagree, this is now W4M. (since (a) works now.)
