Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a Feed-Account. 2. Subscribe to a feed (here planet.mozilla.org) and set that the article summary gets loaded. 3. Select an item, see the summary. 4. Move the item to a mail folder (here: grandchild of the Local Folders' inbox) 5. Select the item. Actual result: Nothing is shown. Reproducibility always

Magnus would you have any interest in fixing this ?

This happens in Thunderbird 3.0.*, but not in SeaMonkey 2.0.*

The reason for this: The downloaded feed items are now encapsulated into a body tag with the attribute selected="false" and http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/themes/qute/mail/messageBody.css#154 adds the css property display:none. Altering selected to true fixes this (as would removing the CSS rule). Can someone explain why the code has been changed to this?

It's used to choose between the summary vs. the displaying the article as a web page. SeaMonkey has exactly the same rules.

Ludovic: As long as I don't know and understand the concept behind the changes in Thunderbird 3 causing this, I can't write a patch. Magnus: I haven't investigated SeaMonkey (2.0.8) further as the problems doesn't occur there, probably because of the use of the old header view (or maybe blocking remote content).

Thunderbird works as expected until 2009-06-06. The 2009-06-07 build doesn't even show the feed summary for feed items in a feed account. Reason for this probably: http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-1.9.1/log/22248bfae2b7 2009-06-12 builds show this bug here (bug 554101), I haven't tested the builds between. So has http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-1.9.1/log/22248bfae2b7 caused this bug or the fix for not showing the summary has fixed it only in feed accounts?

Seems like from 2009-06-05 to 2009-06-12, you need to restart Thunderbird after downloading feed items with feed summary view to read them. This is fixed in 2009-06-13 and starting with this nightly, the feed summary view doesn't work anymore for local folders.

Andrew, have you any clue if this is/can be a regression from the gloda mega-bug which has been checked in on 2009-06-12? Thanks.

Very likely. I think I recall commenting on a bug along these lines previously (move RSS item to non-RSS folder, no longer seen as RSS), so there's dupe-fodder out there.
