User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: I would like to see an optional "Sender or Recipient" column to allow a qmail-like experience. I always file my replies in the same folder as the original message, and TBird just isn't adapted to that. While the threaded display is perfect, searching, sorting or grouping by such a "conversation thread" is currently impossible. Mulberry shows that this can work very well. The column should behave like any other, i.e., you should be able to group, search/quicksearch, sort by it etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

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.

I think that this should be reviewed as RFE (btw, why send automatic messages for RFEs?)

confirming (similar to suite Bug 36489) >(btw, why send automatic messages for RFEs?) see http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7425 can you attach a screen shot of qmail column headers?

I'm sorry, I meant gmail and not qmail. In gmail there are no column headers, but Mulberry (RIP) as well as forte agent has column headers that say "Author" or "Sender or Recipient". But no matter what the column is called, it's important what happens in this column: if I wrote that email myself, it should say "To: whoever", and if I am the recipient, it should say "whoever". I think that's pretty much what the reference suite bug is about, so just see there.

bug 36489 has old patches. see also http://wiki.mozilla.org/Talk:Thunderbird:2.0_Product_Planning#Step_1:_Combined_Sender.2FReceiver_Column

I don't think we keep separate bugs for Thunderbird. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36489 ***
