Mozilla Mail should be able to minimize to the windows tray on Win9x NT or 2000. This could be enabled by a checkbox in the preferences. The tray icon should change to reflect new mail much like the nsnotify.exe program that was available with Netscape, but this should be a part of mozilla not a seperate program.

Marking NEW to get it off our unconfirmed radar.

I've got some C code kicking around that implements this, and I can attach it if someone would find it helpful.

mail notification and all? cool! sure, attach it.

Crap, sorry, no. It must be late. I meant tray icons in general. But hooking the mail notification up to that shouldn't be too difficult, I wouldn't think.

Yup, probably not. So...post the patch?

I'll dig around for this tonight and post it tomorrow. It's not a patch, it's code from one of my apps. It's pretty straight-forward and should be fairly easy to move into nsWindow or something similar.

There's nothing overly magical about these patches. Note that MSG_SYSTRAY is just a user message (WM_USER + 2 in my app). The display of the tooltip is handled automatically.

I think this is a dup of bug 18729.

Why yes.... yes it is. Silly me. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18729 ***

It is a DUP, but this one has patches...they shouldn't get lost ;-).

Not patches. Sample files. In C, not C++. And I noted it in the other bug.

Remarking dupes per previous comments. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18729 ***

Marking verified as a duplicate.
