77181 - unable to search for messages by priority

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

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

we've got a search term picker for priority ("lowest, low, normal, high,
highest") but no way to use it.

I'm unable to search for "priority is lowest" or "priority isn't normal"

Some  related info:
1) it is in the spec, however...
2) our dropdowns are screwed up; they don't switch to show appropriate
selections for different server types:  bug 60514 ( a biggee which I've argued
for on several triage occasions, but has been postponed with an nsbeta1- rating)
3) This does appear erroneously in news (doesn't work) because of the bug
mentioned above
4) This is really a duplicate, see bug 61807 or bug 40527.

And, as an added note, I've been worn down and frustrated over trying to get
someone (last release and this one) to clean up the search/filter dialogs to
offer only valid and implemented criteria choices.

I have the fix for this (as part of bug #57034)  priority does show up in 
search anymore.

I meant, priority only shows up when searching local folder, pop, and imap (when
offline).  never news, since news doesn't do priority.

This bug is worksforme. (FYI, "isn't" for Priority is no longer available.)

I tried the following:

Priority is Normal
Priority is higher than Lowest

Marking as workforme, assuming the testcase was sufficent.

Priority is available in POP search choices.
Basically working, any specific problems with priority searching will be logged
separately.
OK using aug10 commercial trunk build: win98, mac OS 9.0 and linux rh6.2
