not showing title tips for cropped folder names

note, there is no title tips in outliner yet.

There are titletips in outliner now, and these work in the folder pane, for
example "n.p.m.bu..." has a titletip of "n.p.m.builds".  Hopefully, though, this
bug is to expand that titletip to "netscape.public.mozilla.builds".

This issue makes it very annoying to use the Newsreader when you have lots of
newsgroup folders with similar names. Netscape 4.x (at least under Windows) had
the tooltip capability so when you hovered over the newsgroup folder name it
expanded to show it in entirety. In Moz (up to 0.9.8), when you have lots of
newsgroup folders they can end up with very similar abbreviations, for example:
c.o.m-w.n.misc
c.o.m-w.n.s.misc
c.o.m-w.p.misc
c.o.m-w.p.t.misc
etc...

I think this is a duplicate of bug 62586 ?

It is entitled "Need Titletips (or tooltips) for Cropped Text in Message Header
Pane".

yes, I think this is a dup of bug 62586, but only if Joe reimplements this as he
did last time - for all cropped XUL text elements...

Can we now mark this as a dupe of bug 32157 as well since bug 62586 has since 
been marked as a dupe of that original bug (it is still open because tree tips 
are in but the full title tips are not).

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

Bug 32157 is about title-tip for any XUL cropped text, not specific to trees, 
let alone folder names.

Current builds do show a tool-tip for a cropped folder name, but not a 
title-tip; that is bug 75698.  This bug should either be WFM'd, or duped to that 
bug.
