User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 Firefox/3.5.4 Build Identifier: Thunderbird/3.0 Using the new search feature to narrow down to some emails, one often uses the "Open as List" button at the top. The list that opens up always have *only* Subject, From, and Date. Regardless of how many times I choose Size and Location (which I always want) it does not remember this setting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use new search feature, then click "Open as List" 2. notice that only 3 columns (Subject, From, Date) are shown; choose a couple more from the drop down chooser 3. close and redo with the same or different search; notice that the columns are back to just Subject, From, Date Actual Results: Columns in search result (message) list are limited to default 3 Expected Results: Respected or remembered the previous choice (any other columns chosen) I'm classing it as "normal" severity instead of "minor" because this is very frustrating, and I can't find any workarounds. One workaround could be if there were a config variable to specify what columns would show up on a search. I don't mind that -- I always want the same columns anyway -- but having to choose the columns I want everytime I do a search is painful.
