Wow. Why does this bug still exist? More importantly, what group of folks came up with this sacrosanct "spec" for the titles of Mail-News windows? It would seem logical to start the title of the multi-pane window with something more general than the subject of the currently selected message/article seeing as how you can instantly navigate from one message on server A to a different message on server B. The "stand-alone" window, featuring only the text of a single message/article is much more suited for such a window title. Different icons between the two is not the best solution. They should have different title beginnings. Stand-alone: <subject> - <product> Multi-pane: <account> - <subject> - <product> or <product> - <account> - <subject> or even <server> - <subject> - <product> ANYTHING *NOT* starting with the subject. You get so much more information from the multi-pane window, why conceal that fact by giving it such a restrictive title as the subject of the message/article that happens to be highlighted at the moment? And why was the last activity on this bug over 14 months ago (when it was re-opened)? It seems clear the community doesn't feel this bug (not being able to differentiate between the minimized multi-pane window and the minimized stand-alone window) matters much (I guess none of them ever use the stand-alone view). If someone could direct me to the relevant code, I'd be content to fix my own copy and stfu.
