Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206)

The listbox where a user can select what type of search to perform does not
indicate the proper saved type of search that was last performed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select "Entire Message" in search dropdown menu
2.Search for something in a mail account
3.Quit Thunderbird
4.Look at search dropdown menu
5.Search for phrase in email messages
6.Search for phrase in newsgroup messages

Actual Results:  
"Subject or sender" is selected in step 4
Nothing is returned in Step 6

Expected Results:  
"Entire Message" is selected in step 4
Due to bug 277336 , I'm not sure why "Entire message" should even be available
when displaying newsgroup messages.   It should perhaps default to "Subject or
Sender" in such a case.
