385541 - Make use of various List-* headers (RFC2369)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 29041

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[bugzilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: 

Request for enhancement:

Many mailing lists have the following message headers:
List-Unsubscribe: <https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list>,
	<mailto:[e-mail]?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list>
List-Post: <mailto:[e-mail]>

It would be very cool/helpful if these were made into "buttons" when viewing a message.

Perhaps to the right of where other headers (Subject, Date, To etc) are displayed, a couple of buttons could be available:

Compose new message to list
(This may cut down on thread-hijacking)

View list archives (which will then open the web browser)

Unsubscribe
If there is a mailto: tag use that, or when List-Unsubscribe is a list of choices, perhaps make a dropdown list of choices..


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. This is not a bug, it's an enhancement request

Comment 1

[David :Bienvenu]

yes, that's a nice idea to use buttons when viewing a message.

Comment 2

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

See also bug 29041 (and the cloud around it), which has traditionally and incorrectly been used as an all-products version of this, even though it's pretty clearly front-end rather than shared compose code.

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

Marking as dupe for now since much of the work should be backend.
