The files "mime.properties" and "mimeheaders.properties" contain several same items, which are targets for localization. We would like know which ones are used where so that proper localization can proceed. (E.g. Followup-to). Because of uncertainty, L10n could not translate some of the items.
Sending it to sspitzer while rhp is on vacation.

I would suggest to make the comments more clear in both mime.properties and mimeheaders.properties so that the localizers will know which UI corresponds to which string. If the string shouldn't be localized, we need to make sure the localization note describes it. ducarroz, let's work together to make it happen, shall we?
ok, no problem...
ducarroz, let's talk about it this Thursday (3/15).
In the meeting, ducarroz pointed out "mimeheaders.properties" is no longer used in Netscape 6.5. It has been replaced by "msgHdrViewOverlay.dtd" in mail. He will either remove the file from Netscape installer or add the comment "This file is longer used in Netscape 6.5" in the file. As regarding "mime.properties", there is no string used as a protocal or token. The strings in the file are mainly for error messages and inline forward headers. "It is safe to localize all the srings.", he said. The only mirror problem he can think of is "inline forward" will forward the header strings and the receiver will receive the sender's header strings displayed on the mail. If the receiver doesn't have the font, it may show garbages. Kat, please add your comments and let us know what we may be missing. Thanks.
As for mime.properties strings used in error msgs and inline forward headers, it is OK for them to be localizable but I would be careful about translating them. For Japanese, I think it would be desirable to leave inline forward headers in English. As to error msgs, I would like to know what type of errors before I make recommendations.
ducarroz, can you answer Kat's question regarding the type of errors msgs in mime.properties? We also need to add the comments to the file to indicate which strings are used in "inline forward" header. Thanks.
adding jenm. Please evaluate this one. Someone needs to assign a milestone to this.
Scott - This one says [nsbeta1+ 2/13], but not "cut". Is this targeted to get fixed or cut for nsbeta1?

There are string items in "mime.properties" and "mimeheaders.properties", which caused problems if we localized them. Are the bugs fixed yet? If not, ducarroz, can you add the comments to the files? The strings are: 1000=Subject # Resent-Comments ## @name MIME_MHTML_RESENT_COMMENTS ## @loc 1001=Resent-Comments # Resent-Date ## @name MIME_MHTML_RESENT_DATE ## @loc 1002=Resent-Date # Resent-Sender ## @name MIME_MHTML_RESENT_SENDER ## @loc 1003=Resent-Sender # Resent-From ## @name MIME_MHTML_RESENT_FROM ## @loc 1004=Resent-From # Resent-To ## @name MIME_MHTML_RESENT_TO ## @loc 1005=Resent-To # Resent-CC ## @name MIME_MHTML_RESENT_CC ## @loc # LOCALIZATION NOTE (1006): Do not translate "CC" below. 1006=Resent-CC # Date ## @name MIME_MHTML_DATE ## @loc 1007=Date # Sender ## @name MIME_MHTML_SENDER ## @loc 1008=Sender # From ## @name MIME_MHTML_FROM ## @loc 1009=From # Reply-To ## @name MIME_MHTML_REPLY_TO ## @loc 1010=Reply-To # Organization ## @name MIME_MHTML_ORGANIZATION ## @loc 1011=Organization # To ## @name MIME_MHTML_TO ## @loc 1012=To # CC ## @name MIME_MHTML_CC ## @loc # LOCALIZATION NOTE (1013): Do not translate "CC" below. 1013=CC # Newsgroups ## @name MIME_MHTML_NEWSGROUPS ## @loc 1014=Newsgroups # Followup-To ## @name MIME_MHTML_FOLLOWUP_TO ## @loc 1015=Followup-To # References ## @name MIME_MHTML_REFERENCES ## @loc 1016=References # Name ## @name MIME_MHTML_NAME ## @loc 1017=Name # Type ## @name MIME_MHTML_TYPE ## @loc 1018=Type # Encoding ## @name MIME_MHTML_ENCODING ## @loc 1019=Encoding # Description ## @name MIME_MHTML_DESCRIPTION ## @loc 1020=Description # Message ID ## @name MIME_MHTML_MESSAGE_ID ## @loc 1021=Message-ID # Resent Message ID ## @name MIME_MHTML_RESENT_MESSAGE_ID ## @loc 1022=Resent-Message-ID
