The mail-news prefs have prefs that say that double-clicking on a message or a folder opens in a new window. They don't.

That's because we don't have standalone message windows yet. Lisa, should this be a dup of bug 10875? 10875 is marked M17; so at least we should remove the pref for beta.

This is actually part of bug 10875 (double-click to open standalone window) and bug 6567 (double click folder to open multiple mail windows 2 or 3 pane). We can either remove the pref or just release note it, I think. I don't have a preference. alec?

let's release note Setting up dependancies now.

reassign to putterman to mark dupe or worksforme or something. (I assume he's got it hooked up to the pref now)

Every double click now opens a new window, *even if the pref to open messages in new windows is not selected*. Either this is a dup of bug 10875, or it's really about the pref being ignored, then it's still open. If the former, I'll file a new bug.

the pref is being ignored. We've considered removing the pref.

we're not going to ignore the pref anymore. But I'm moving this to M17.

I think we'll have to remove this preference for the release. New bug to be filed and then we can move this to future.

Changed summary to reflect the current issue that we're ignoring the pref. New bug #43236 logged to remove pref from the ui.

*** Bug 17986 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 37958 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

this bug is being moved to the future milestone.

This is covered in the beta2 release notes by a general statement covering the fact that Prefs and Account Settings in general have not been cleaned up. (Some prefs not implemented and we haven't removed them all yet.)

These prefs have gone, so this doesn't need relnoting. Right? :-) Gerv

bug 90453 is a duplicate of this one, could someone please mark it? i don't have the rights to do so!

ups forget it it isn't ;)

Umm double-click does open in new window, and this pref doesn't exist. should this bug be closed?

reassigning to ssu.

bug 43236 -> wfm
