62599 - Mail headers window does not have options for all fields

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 36492

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Dan Rosen]

The mail headers pane for my inbox can currently have the following fields shown:

  Thread
  Subject
  Sender
  Read
  Date
  Priority
  Flag
  Status
  Size
  Unread
  Total
  Order Received

I would like to be able to sort by recipient, since I'm on several mailing
lists, but that option isn't listed. Likewise, in my sent box, the "sender"
field is replaced by a "recipient" field, but the list of options still shows
only sender.

There are other fields which could potentially be displayed as well
(content-type, mailer, etc.) which might be of use to some people.

[Dan Rosen]

This isn't an RFE for user-defined columns. Consider my comments about
content-type and mailer columns part of a different bug, I guess. My only real
problem with our "standard" columns is that in normal folders you can't view the
recipient, and in sent folders you can't view the sender (although the menu item
for selecting columns does erroneously say sender instead of recipient).

accepting.

I'd like to be able to see both Sender and Recipient, and to be able to sort 
based on any.

For "Sent" folders, Mozilla could have an option to select if it should invert 
Sender<->Recipient.

As I have lots of mail addresses, this has been on my wish list for a looooong 
time...

"Recipient" column was added quite some time ago.  No other specific request is 
made in this bug, so duping.
