298181 - gMsgCompose.originalMsgURI not set for draft messages

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Eyal Rozenberg]

gMsgCompose.originalMsgURI should be set not only for reply messages, but for
drafts being edited as well.

(It's useful, plus there's no harm in setting it right?)

I'm not sure what the intention was here...

Eyal, how might this help?

(no bugs 6 months on either side of 2005-06-19 that mention gMsgCompose.originalMsgURI)

I need the original Message URI to figure out what the display direction choice for it is (force RTL, force LTR, auto-detect). It's for BiDi Mail UI.

I used an alternative method for doing the same thing:

but it has problems too:
