673764 - RSS - name of the author is not displayed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Michal Stanke (Mozilla.cz) [:mstanke][:MikkCZ]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0.1
Build ID: 20110707182747



Actual results:

When the author of an item is in the source entered like this: "<[e-mail]>" (without display name), nothing is shown in the space for author.

(probably the same issue concerns TB)


Expected results:

When there is no display name, at least the e-mail address should be displayed, like when the author is entered like this: "[e-mail]" = without <>.

Is this in the mailnews RSS reader or the browser feed preview display?

In the mailnews RSS reader list.
When displaying the concrete item, there is "<[e-mail]>". But in the list is nothing.

The blog reader code is shared with Thunderbird. Moving to MailNews Core.

first, there cannot be <> in a non cdata <author> tag.  but when entered in a cdata this works for me; <[e-mail]> is shown in the threadpane list, while the name without <> is shown in the header From, both correctly.  TB24.

reopen with a specific testcase if still a problem.
