I debugged this today because I made i18n changes on 4/19.
For reply/forward, nsIMessage gets original mail's info (to, cc, subject).
In the code below, msgHdr is null so we get an error and the subject string
unchanged (it is initialized as empty string). I think this is the reason that
we don't get headers (because they are empty strings).
I think this is not related to the change I made on 4/19 but let me know if
anything wrong with my code.

mozilla/mailnews/base/util/nsMessage.cpp
NS_IMETHODIMP nsMessage::GetSubject(nsString &resultSubject)
{
	if(mMsgHdr)
		return mMsgHdr->GetSubject(resultSubject);
	else
		return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;
}

I don't think that reply or forward is implemented yet.

What Lisa said. Marking invalid.

Comment 4

[lchiang]

marking verified as invalid.  Once these features are implemented, we'll try out
the functionality.

As far as i understand Reply and Forward are implemented now. When getting a
replyied message you see all non-ascii garbled (not in the thread pane, in the
message header). So reopening

JF - please assess the bug and assign a target milestone.

I think we probably want to fix this for PR1

And we need to have time to look at the fix carefully well before
Beta 1. We are trying to fix the body problem for M9 right now --
Bug 11763. I might also add that Latin 1 header quoting was working
pre-necko (7/28/99 build) and so this is really a regression for
Latin 1 even for M9. See my comment in Bug 11763 on this.

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

When I say "working" for pre-necko, I mean "POP3". IMAP quoting
seemed to have been broken according to rhp.

Comment 11

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

Marina, please update the status of this bug with regard to HTML/Plain
text Latin 1 send for both POP3 and IMAP servers.

Comment 12

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

Marina, is this a duplicate of another bug reported? Bug 10965.
If so, mark one or other as a duplicate. If they are duplcates,
then it might be better tokeep Bug 10965 alive rather than this one.

[marina]

I marked this one as a dup of 10965 since it is the same problem and i agree
with Kat it's better to keep 10965 alive
