55864 - Untangle mailnews xul/dtd from navigator

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Peter "jag" Annema]

Because of some overlap in menu code, mailnews shares navigator.dtd. I think a
better solution is to move shareable menu code and the related l10n files into
separate files which can be used from both.

This may be a more general issue. Menus like the Edit menu and the File menu
have much common code, but also differ per app. Is there a good way we can have
a basic menuEditOverlay to which other stuff is added?

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I think this was fixed in another bug by timeless or blake a while back.

Marking WFM.
