294026 - don't allow user to accidentally classify as junk a piece of mail from someone in address book

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[John Edmondson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217

This is a suggestion for an enhancement.

Currently, when scrolling through your list of email in the Inbox and clicking
off what is junk and what is not, it is possible to accidentally classify an
email as junk even if it is from someone in your address list.  It would be nice
to grey out the junk button or the junk column in these situations so that email
cannot be accidentally junked.  This would only apply when the option in junk
mail settings is chosen to exempt mail from people in your address book.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Select Junk Mail Control "Do not mark messages as junk if the sender is in
my address book
2.  Highlight an email from someone in your address book
3.  'Accidentally' click on Junk button
4.  Email will be moved or deleted according to junk mail controls settings

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
Option 1:
Junk button/column would be inaccessible if sender is in your address book

Option 2:
Warning message would be generated if sender is in your address book.

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
