Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 189241

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Georg Meyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050529

In the Thunderbird mail client, you can search for the context of messages
without going through an extra menu. As the result, you get listed any messages
which contain your search words. Additionally, they are highlighted in yellow.
I believe in this case that this makes searching your mails a lot easier and
comfortable and therefore suggest porting this feature into Mozilla mail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozill Mail
2.Inable to search for the context of messages from the search line


Actual Results:  
Can't search for the context of message

Expected Results:  
Should be able to search messages for their content and be listed. Similiar like
in Thunderbird.
