(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[John Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122

This is an "infurating small tormenter" type of bug: it can easily be fixed (by
cklicking the order of messages arrow) each time when it appears, but it
torments you by requiring the user action each time.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start new day (i.e. wait for the new day to begin)
2. Start mozilla mail client
3. Download the new mail messages
4. Open any of your inboxes or any of their subfolders (e.g.
mydevaccount/perl/perlxml)



Expected Results:  
1) The newest mail messages should be presented on the top of the list of messages
2) At minimum this should be set as a user prefference choice, perhaps once at
the   installation 
3) Or it should learn automatically from the users pattern of behaviour what is
his/her preference

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
