buildid:2001-03-08-09 on win98 Preference: play sound when a message arrives checked compose and send a mail wait for the biff to go off Results: biff does go and fetch the mail but does not play the sound. The sound does not go off even when doing get message This could be a regression bug because I have checked on buildid 2001-03-05-09 still has the system beep sound when the message arrives

change qa contact, cc esther and racham This could be a regression bug.

looks like the sound URL is null when we get it in the biff manager.... i'm getting an assertion there in a debug tip build.

Can this be related to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71123?

marking nsbeta1+, we need to fix this. It should be playing the system beep now.

Before we try to play sound file at givel url, we were only checking whether or not we got soundURL object successfully and that is not sufficient. What we really want to check to see if the soundURL spec has any length (either default or user specified). New patch coming up....

Adding Seth and Gayatri to the cc list.

looks good. r=gayatrib

sr=sspitzer I didn't know you could do .get() on a nsXPIDLCString. that's much cleaner than casting (which is what I've done in the past, but not anymore!)

Fix checked in. Thanks for reviews.
