90038 - Collapsed thread should remain bold until all messages read

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74357

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[WD]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1+)Gecko/20010619
BuildID:    2001070904

When reading newsgroup messages and the threads are collapsed, it's very hard to
see which threads have new messages.   A collapsed thread should remain bold
until all of the sub-messages are read.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a newsgroup
2.Set display to threaded
3.read the first message in a thread
4.collapse the thread

Actual Results:  The thread subject is plain text (not-bold)

Expected Results:  The thread subject is bold

To distinguish between threads which have some read messages and those that are
all unread, perhaps the icon next to the subject could be changed.      
(similar to the Outlook Express behavior)

(I'm not suggesting this just because OE does it this way, but because it works
well! :)

I'm sorry, it's not 19254... that's a folder pane parent bug, but I think we
have another for thread pane.
