Using commercial trunk 2002-09-19-08-trunk/ NT 4.0 2002-09-20-08-trunk/ Mac 10.1.5, mac 9.2.2 2002-09-20-08-trunk/ linux 2.2, red hat 7.0 was trying to test bug 159988. I'm not sure if the fix for bug 167538 or bug 167382 should have fixed this? Anways, either online or offline, if you select a News mesg and go to file|save as|template, the mesg will not be saved to 'Template' folder under Local folders. I can save a imap mail mesg to either the online or Local Folders template folder fine. Just with News I can't.
probably me. taking.

I don't think my copyService changes are responsible here. I don't know if it ever worked. From what I have found, basically the url listener is never informed when url stops running. over to default owner.

I'll look into it.

Note to self: be sure to test Save as Template when this is fixed, since I couldn't test that when I verified bug 159988.

Saving mails as templates via File menu fails too. Handling templates should be similar to handling drafts. Drafts could only be saved from the composing window. This window has a different File - Save As sub menu. The code for saving templates is announced as 'obscured', and perhaps not needed any more, see http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/mailnews/base/src/nsMessenger.cpp#231 Existing messages can be saved as templates the usual way via Message - Copy To - <Target Selection>.
