Sorry if this is a duplicate. Mozilla Mozilla 1.8b2 nightly 20050702 automatically displays the Subject, Sender, etc. in the main mail window with a strikethrough, which makes them hard to read, when the message is "tagged for deletion". How can I turn this off? I can't find a GUI user preference or anything in prefs.js. I use my own server based filtering system to put various types of messages (such as from mailing lists) into their respective mailboxes, and then to put copies into the Inbox, tagged for deletion. This replicates the functionality of Netscape 4.7x. (I use a specially modified Courier Maildrop to do this filtering and tagging: http://www.firstpr.com.au/web-mail/Maildrop-mods-filtering/ I want to be able to read clearly the subject line, sender etc. of the dozens or hundreds of "tagged for deletion" messages in my inbox, without this strikethrough "feature". - Robin

Firefox 1.0.2 20050317 has no strikethrough. The latest nightly Firefox Alpha 2 V 1.0+ 20050711 has strikethrough. - Robin

I didn't know that had been turned on in the default build. I had my install customized to add it, by putting these lines into userChrome.css: treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(imapdeleted) { text-decoration: line-through; } You could change the rule to text-decoration: none !important and that should turn it back off.

Thanks for this Mike! For completeness, and to help those who may come this way later, here is what I did: This Windows 2000 machine has my preferences etc. in a directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\xxx\yyyyyyyy.slt\ where "xxx" is the profile name and yyyyyyyy is some gobbledegook. There is a directory there, /chrome/ containing: chrome.rdf userChrome-example.css (Explains the "!important" used below.) userContent-example.css I add a new file there: userChrome.css with the contents: treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(imapdeleted) { text-decoration: none !important; } and when I reboot Mozilla there is no more strikethrough. Still, I think its a bug if this "feature" is a problem for some users and there is no obvious way of disabling it. - Robin

A bug which may be of interest to people who disable the strikethrough is: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300536 On Mozilla 1.8b2 nightly 20050702, messages with attachments do not show a red cross when the "Attachments" column is disabled. - Robin

My comments #2 should have referred to Thunderbird rather than Firefox. I can't find a way of disabling this strikethrough with Thunderbird Alpha 2 V 1.0+ 20050711. I tried the userChrome.css file in the /chrome/ and /defaults/pref/ directories (neither had any .css files) and in /res/ (where there were some .css files). I can't find any .css files such as userChrome-example. - Robin

userChrome.css goes in the <profile>/chrome directory. The profile directory you reference in comment 3 appears to be for Mozilla, not for Thunderbird; I can't tell which directories you're referring to in comment 6.
