User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Even with mildly long subjects, the Subject line in the message view pane or separate message view window gets truncated, esp if there's an attachment pane visible. In the message list window, a tooltip flashes briefly for long subjects. However, in the message view window, there's no tooltip --- either a tooltip should flash to show the complete subject, or the subject should wrap for display (as in netscape 4.8, for example). The problem is particularly annoying when viewing messages in separate windows (not in the 3-pane display), since it's hard to keep going back to the message list to find the message and figure out what the full subject is by selecting it and holding the mouse for a few seconds to get the tooltip. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send yourself a message with a long enough subject that it truncates in the message display window --- if necessary send an attachment so that the attachment pane consumes some space. 2. 3. Couldn't find this bug searching on 'subject tip', but bug 201617 talks about tooltips for subject lines being too brief.

Attached image shows 2 images (top to bottom): (1) Mozilla mail reader showing the subject being truncated (not wrapped) and no way to get tooltip in a separate window (2) Netscape 4.8 showing the same message --- notice how the subject wraps nicely.

Wrapping of the subject line is probably the "right thing" in this case. The Summary is a bit misleading. I can CONFIRM that this bug is still present in 1.7beta even though the original report was July of last year.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.
