285636 - Search in message UI like firefox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 238060

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[jerry.vos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

It would be a nice if Thunderbird went along with Firefox's search where it adds
the Find toolbard to the bottom of a window when you're searching a specific
message.

Firefox got rid of the popup find dialog, and it would make the two a bit more
visually compatible if Thunderbird did also.  It also would be nice if it added
the same options (Find Next, Find Previous, Highlight, Match Case) too.

Caveat: this will add (at least temporarily) another find field to the UI which
is bound to be confusing for some people (at least initially).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a message
2. Click Edit->Find->Find in this message
Actual Results:  
A dialog pops up

Expected Results:  
A toolbar would popup at the bottom with the same options as Firefox's.
