It would be nice if the new View dropdown list would contain "Watched Threads",
so that you could easily show only watched threads.

I'm a little confused, as the reference doesn't clarify what _is_ shown in the
Views dropdown. But my inclination would be that it would show the same options
as View -> Messages rather like Outlook Express, in which case bug 73562 would
be the key.
If selecting which messages to view and which threads to view are going to be
separated, then it would make sense for custom views to be able to set both
simultaneously. My idea would be that, once message criteria have been
specified, a thread viewing option would be "only", "threads with" or "threads
containing only".
Depends on: 73562

Stewart, comment #2 made no sense to me at all. Could you provide a sketch, like
this (from bug 73562):
| View |
+------------+
| Show/Hide |
| Sort by |+-----------------------------+
| Messages >|| All |
| ... || Unread |
| Threads with unread |
| Watched Threads |<-----This one !!!
| Watched Threads with Unread |
+-----------------------------+

Are you talking about my first paragraph or my second?
If the first, then I can't really draw a sketch as the page doesn't show a picture of the
expanded Views dropdown for me to draw an improvement of. But it would probably
look similar to your sketch.
The second paragraph isn't related to bug 73562, but a separate idea that probably
ought to be brought up as a separate RFE. Basically:
____________________________________________________________________
_____________
|Message View Setup |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Message view name: [Untitled 1] |
| |
| When this view is selected, display [ only v] messages that: |
| +-------------------------+ |
| | only | |
| | threads containing | |
| | threads containing only | |
| +-------------------------+ |
| |
~~etc.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~
So is this bug and 73562 duplicates of each other? It kind of seems that way.

Not yet. They'll be the same once bug 189543 is fixed.

I don't think they will be duplicates. The Searchbar "View" will be *added* to
the already existing items under View | Messages. Actually, since the Searchbar
"View" menu is mostly for "custom" views, I suspect that the current "All" and
"Unread" will be handled by the existing "View | Messages" entries, and this bug
will be WONTFIXed (because bug 73562 is older than this one).
Thus the future merged "View | Messages" might look like bug 189543#c17
PS. We might need to add a menuitem to accomodate the mass of submenuitems
(takes cover).
View

I've seen that idea before, but the way I've seen it doesn't seem logical. Guess one way it
could be broken up is something like Standard Views, Custom Views, Labels, Options or
something along those lines.

I'm not sure what should be done with this bug. The View menu has been
restructured as described in comment 7. However, threaded views are not part of
the MailViews dropdown; until such point as bug 135326 is addressed, it seems
unlikely that they will be.
Bug 207862 is an RFE requesting that all threaded views be integrated into the
MailViews dropdown. Bug 218208 is an RFE requesting that the Watch/Ignore
status be available when defining a MailView, but doesn't specifically ask that
the results be threaded. It seems to me that this bug is a dupe of one of
these.

This bug applies to Thunderbird as well!
If bugs apply to Thunderbird *and* Seamonkey at the same time, do there have to be separate reports for *each* application? Seems to me, as bug 73562 is for Seamonkey, bug 294901 is for Thunderbird.

since bug 135326 was fixed by bug 263180, should something be happening? :)
should this or bug 218208 be duped to this or something else? (bloody messy maze of dependencies here)

I'd dupe this to bug 207862, just to consolidate; but to me the ideal solution is implementing bug 218208, along with bug 197620 (which encompasses Stewart's comment 4). But I wouldn't bet that any of this web of enhancing mailviews and/or consolidating View|Threads and View|Messages will ever occur.

This, bug 218208 and bug 207862 are very different proposals. At the moment this has nothing to do with bug 207862, but will have something to do with it once bug 73562 is fixed.
Even so, if only bug 218208 and bug 197620 (both of which block 207862) are fixed, then it would be straightforward to implement this as a completely separate project from 207862.
Bug 218208 is the most certainly not a dupe of anything, and definitely not a dupe of anything that's been mentioned in this bug's comments. It's a basic first step towards a handful of enhancements including this one. Just look at its dependency tree.
