295900 - Status bar not updating while copying multiple messages from newsgroup to a local folder.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 216276

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Steve]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When copying messages from a newsgroup to a local folder the status bar does not
update, for example while copying the first message it will read "Copying 1 of
25 messages to Speed Boat", this does not update so you have no idea of where it
is up too, plus it does not mark the news messages as read in the news pane as
it has read and copyed that message, this is a feature that I particularly miss
from much older versions of the mail/news client. This is really two different
problems, if you are copying a large quantity of messages and your connection
breaks it can be nearly impossible to find out where you were up to whith the
copying when the connection broke. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a multiple messages in a newsgroup.
2. Using the context menu copy the messages to a "Local Folder" 
3. Watch the status bar at the bottom of the screen.  

Actual Results:  
The status bar puts up an initial message which doesn't change untill all
messages have been downloaded. 

Expected Results:  
Should let you know how many messages it has copyed out of the total amount for
example "Copying message 24 of 352", when copying the 24th message.

Dupe of bug 216276?  That bug's symptom doesn't *exactly* match, but it was an 
old version and the message to the status bar probably changed between then and 
TB 1.0.
