282324 - Missing "Do not show this message again" option when closing Message composition window

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[D.Tietze]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I start a message and then change my mind, I close the message composition
window. The system gives me a dialog prompting me wether to save the message in
the drafts folder or not. The button default of this dialog is "Save". The
selection that I ALWAYS want (Don't save) is off to the left.

Now, I'm an impatient user of the "Do what I tell you to do - If I had WANTED
you to save it, I'd have TOLD you to do that" type. I.e. if I close the window,
I want it CLOSED. I don't want a prompt about saving the message. ESPECIALLY not
one that I can't quickly confirm with ENTER.

So - I'd like a "Do not ask me this question again" type of checkbox on this dialog.

I've also found this missing in a couple of other places which annoy the hell
out of me but which I can't remember at the moment. Sorry.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. CTRL-N to write new message
2. Start typing
3. Change mind
4. close window

Actual Results:  
Prompted to save to drafts EACH AND EVERY time.

Expected Results:  
Prompt me once, give me the option to tell app NEVER to bug me again.
