76414 - only show "green" icon in thread column if the thread has new messages

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

only show "green" icon in thread column in the thread has new messages.

right now we are showing it when the thread has unread messages, which is incorrect.

I thought I had a bug on this, but I couldn't find it.

if anyone knows where that bug is please dup this.

For those of you watching the action at home: this bug follows on from bug 
74357, which in turn follows on from bug 64477. I don't think this is a dup.

I'm definitely seeing this too in build 2001052204 Win98. It's driving me crazy,
for that matter. This bug has high visibility and should be nominated for
nsbeta1. Sometimes threads show the normal icon when all the messages have been
read, but often I get the green icon even though expanding the thread shows no
new messages. I have no killfiles set, and the only JS errors in my console are
the ones from bug 79232.

Adding that nsbeta1 I talked about earlier...

I see this, but I also sometimes get the green arrow even when all the messages
in the thread are marked as read.  There seems to be no way to get rid of the
green arrow for these threads.

As of 0.9.8 Release this bug seems to have dissapeared. In Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;
U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020213 I have been unable to replicate this
bug any more.

The green arrow is only showing for "newest" postings now, and not unread 
postings which is correct. But, if a thread had newest postings and is 
collapsed, the parent should show the green arrow. This is currently not working 
correctly. If the parent thead is collapsed, there is no indication that it 
contains "newest" postings.
