The only thing bugging me now is mail/news opening extra tabs, and I'm sure something I do causes that. Well, reasonably sure, anyway, I'm not even at the reproduce stage yet, much less the 'file a bug' stage, it's likely to be user error because of a new feature. -- Bill Davidsen david...@tmr.com We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SM 2.0 RC1 -- mail and news messages not marked as read after viewing
Further testing of SM 2.0 RC1 behavior on Win XP SP3 with a migrated profile from SM 1.1.18: In 1.1.18, when a message has been viewed (e.g. clicked on), it is automatically (and logically) marked as read. This is true for both mail and news. SM 2.0 RC1 doesn't follow the above behavior, instead keeping a viewed message as unread no matter how many times it's clicked upon. I have the pref regarding auto-marking a message as read (Mail Newsgroups | Message Display | General | Automatically mark messages as read) unticked, as I don't want messages to be marked as read until I've read them.

Since I've never used this pref in SM 1.1.x, I can't speak to a comparison of behavior. I have *tried*, really and truly, *tried* to find a bug listing in Bugzilla for the described behavior of SM 2.0 RC1, but it is quite literally an effort in futility. If anyone has a better knack of coming up with search keywords that deliver less-than-making-one-crosseyed results, I would be more than grateful for you to apply your skills here. For surely this is a bug that has been listed for SM 2.0 already--unless I have a mutant version and am the only user experiencing this behavior...

There's nothing wrong with your comprehension, it simply isn't working in that release. :) However, if I understand you correctly, and you want the messages to be marked as read after you have viewed them, that IS corrected in *RC2*. Did you read all the comments in the bug filed on the failure to mark messages as read? Or am I not understanding what you want? bj ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
