301066 - Reply to newsgroup-button missing

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Erik Wikström]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5
Build Identifier: version 1.0.5 (20050711)

When browsing a newsgroup and wishing to reply to some message there the only
way is to right-click on the message and select "Reply to Newsgroup". The
buttons on the toolbara allows only to reply to the sender (e-mail) reply to all
(newsgroup and e-mail) and forwarding the message. There ought to be a button
"Reply to Newsgroup" (or simply Reply) since one most often wants to reply to
the group.

This is quite a iritating bug, and it has happended twice already that I've
replyed only by mail and not to the newsgroup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to a newsgroup
2. Select a message in the newsgroup


Actual Results:  
No button to reply to newsgroup present

Expected Results:  
A button for replying to the newsgroup should be on the toolbar, preferably
being the first of the reply-buttons.

Clicking reply when viewing a newsgroup message replies to the newsgroup for me.
Do you see this in the latest builds?

Yes, in version 1.0+ (20050716), Reply now replys to the newsgroup.
