Build 2000-04-21-08M16: NT4, Linux 6.0
Build 2000-04-21-15M16: Mac 9.0

Overview: In the 3pane, select the Account level, select the Search menu and the 
items listed should match the spec.

1. Add
a) Search Messages: Question for jglick
In the spec this item appears in the Context Menu but not in any menu item. 
Shouldn't it appear in the Search menu? I typically use this option to look for 
a message in all the folders for the account selected. 

2. Disable
a) Find (Since it works on the Message Body only)

b) Find Again (Since it works on the Message Body only)

3. Matching the Browser for additional items
a) Additional items for the Search menu should match the Browser but they 
currently do not match. I can list the items if necessary, just let me know.

"Search all Mail" in the Search menu brings up the Mail Search dialog.


John Gable owns this menu so refer to him for any questions.

John, your document states that for Mail, the top portion of the Search menu 
should be:
- Search in Message 
- Find
- Find Again

Does "Search in Message" only search in the body of the message selected? I 
would like an option to Search Messages from the account level so it looks at 
messages for all folders in an account. I use this often in 4.7. The document I 
reference is http://client/seamonkey/navigator/toolbar-por.htm#searchmenu.

Actually, the menus are:

Find in Message 
Find Again 
Search all Mail 

I believe "Search all Mail" is supposed to bring up the Mail search dialog. And 
from there you can pick the account or folder you want to search.

nominating as nsbeta3 polish

per mail triage:  remove nsbeta3 nomination and move to future milestone.  For 
the short term, we will combine items here into three bugs (in 3pane) to address 
for nsbetat3:  1. delete, change text, move menuitems;  2. enable/disable and 
text changes on context (dynamic);  3.  accelerator keys to work.

When this bug gets revisited after the first release, we'll need to see what 
items remaining that need to be addressed.

The product currently shows the following menu items:

- Find in This Message...
- Find Again
---------------------------
- Search Mail/News Messages
---------------------------
- Search the Web
- Search Bookmarks/History

kmurray: The spec shows additional items but they currently are not present,
such as "Business", "Maps and Directions" etc... Should they be added?

if we want to use dmoz, sure, otherwise i don't think this is necessary.

I don't think this is of earthshattering import. We can probably live without it 
for now.
