65116 - Allow for merging of threads by subject headings

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 11051

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Pádraig Brady]

Especially in threaded mode, where you can drag
multiple messages into an existing thread and
the subjects are changed accordingly.

Changing to New to get off unconfirmed radar.

I also don't understand this issue.

Padraig, can you please give us more information, such as Build date, OS, and
the steps to reproduce, as clearly as possible.  Thanks!

Padraig responded via e-mail:

Basically when you have seperate threads I would
like to be able to merge them. I know the threads
aren't done on subject, so this would only be possible
I guess if you had another view mode where you just
grouped messages by subject (like outlook). Then
you can merge groups (change subjects) using drag & drop.

Another kind of related BUG is that some messages don't
display when in threaded mode, you must switch to non-threaded
mode to be able to view them.

Padraig

Note: I still don't understand the point of this, exactly.  The 2nd point you 
mentioned, however,  has been filed (there are many thread issues).  I'll check 
to see if I can find it.

This is the concept of virtual folders discussed in bug 11051. Marking as a
duplicate
