Looks like that a tree selection problem on Linux. Compose open one window per reply in case of multiple selection.
(Note that this feature doesn't fully work yet as all the window are reply to the firs selection).

Linux (1999-06-28-08 m8)
POP and IMAP: I follow all steps as described. I do not see 2 compose window
come up. Mark it fixed. Ester, if you disagree, please re-open this bug.

Fenella, since the last comment on this is bug was by Jean-Francois identifying
a problem, let's leave it open/assigned again.

I am not sure if this bug was specific to Esther's setup or not.  If you go back
to use the build that Esther originally reported this bug on and you also see
the problem and then you use the current build and you don't see the problem,
then you can mark this as fixed.  Otherwise, we need to wait for Esther to
verify.

Thanks.

I will try this again when we get the next build just to see if it was fixed by
some other fix.

Retesting with 19990723a on linux, this is working.  ducarroz did you fix this?

Comment 9

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

No, but it was certainly a bug in RDF which has been fixed. However, we still have one issue when the user select
several message and it reply: we should open one compose window per message and not n time a compose window
for the first selected message.

Using builds 19991109 for win98, mac and linux, the oringinal bug and the new
bug re: a separate compose window opens for each of the 3 messages I selected
when I clicked Reply.  This fixes the comment dated 7/26, however closing these
windows crashes.  Verified
