625860 - exporting multiple folders as html saves all except first as eml

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[John]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101207 Thunderbird/3.1.7

When selecting multiple local folders and exporting all messages as html, only the first folder is exported as html, the remainder are all exported as eml.

I can't believe I'm the only one to find this but am unable to find an existing bug report.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select multiple local folders
2. Right click and select Import/Export
3. Select Export All Messages in Folder
4. Select html format
Actual Results:  
The resultant folder structure has sub-folders for the messages exported. Only the first messages sub-folder has messages in html. The others are in eml. In addition any sub-folders are ignored.

Expected Results:  
All messages should be in the format selected in step 4. Also, if the local folders have sub-folders, this structure should be duplicated in the results.

Workround of doing each folder or sub-folder individually would be easy except that I have hundreds of folders in a complex structure. Duplicating this manually is time consuming and error prone.

I don't have this menu option. Is this provided by an extension ?
