I read netscape.public.mozilla.general in theraded mode, when I decided I wanted to mark all messages read, so I choose "Select All" on the edit menu. Then I selected Mark->As Read on the Message menu. Expected Result: All messages marked read. Actual Result: Only messages visible in tree (not under a collapsed node) marked read. I guess this is because only messages visible in the tree is selected. Maybe there could be a special selection marker "I'm marked and so are all my children" so that code dependent on the selection could traverse the full tree. Tried with current (2000-07-30) CVS debug build. I'm sure this must be a dup, but I couldn't find the other bug.
confirming using the 2000080508 m18 nightly on win2k. This also happens in the Manage Bookmarks windows so this isn't only a MailNews issue

In 4.x we handled this by opening up all threads and then doing a select all.
