Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Daniel Rose]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

In Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Outlook Express, one may view the
messages in author order, click on an author's name, and click to have the
thread expanded.  The selected thread stays in view with its replies opened.

In both Thunderbird and Netscape 7.2, if one opens the thread, all the threads
on the board are opened and the selected thread is lost.

Could Thunderbird be changed to operate the same way as Communicator?  This is
more convenient for finding a specific message and its replies.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any newsgroup in Thunderbird.
2. Click on the Sender column header.
3. Click on any sender's name.
4. Click on the Thread column header.

Actual Results:  
The threads of all messages on the board expanded.  The original message was
lost, somewhere either way above the screen or way below it.

Expected Results:  
Expanded only the thread for the selected author, and displayed it in the middle
of the window.

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.
