Build 2001-05-16-04: WinMe Build 2001-05-16-08: Mac 9.04 Overview: In a new message/compose window the File|Send Now menu item is disabled. This happens using classic/modern, plain/html. Expected Results: I can send using the mouse to select the Send button but it's not possible to use the keyboard to select this item (i.e. arrowing down to the menu item, mnemonics --- currently no accelerator exists which is a known issue). Also important for accessibility reasons.

Marking nsbeta1 to have a way to send messages without requiring a mouse.

reassigning to varada and cc'ing prass (since she has worked on other compose enabling/disabling bugs)

Additional Information: - Build 2001-05-17-08: Linux, the problem also occurs.

setting TM to 0.9.2 per PDT triage (however, you can check it in into 0.9.1 by 18/May/01 11:59pm or into 0.9.2 trunk when it opens)

Seth, you said that you wanted this bug. Take it if you do.

I'll leave it for varada, as he's the proper owner. currently the code updates that command when the offline state changes, but that's not right. (for one, what if we are offline when the compose window comes up? the state would be wrong.) don't we have the means now [inspired by mscott's work to the 3 pane, and then hyatt made it work everywhere with command="" or observes=""] to check a command is enabled when the menu is created?

Any luck finding this yet?

The Send Now was not getting initially enabled because of a timing issue and that has been taken care of. The remaining problem now is that even thou it is disabled when offline the UI continues to keep it visually enabled and not greyed out. Still investigating.

adding PDT+

using the beta candidate from 6/7 I am seeing this still. I compose a message and try to send via the menu and Send Now is grayed out. Sending using the icon on the tool bar works fine. win2k

you're still seeing it because it is not fixed.

Attaching a patch. This doesnt solve the problem -merely makes it more tolerable. Instead of having the SendNow be disabled when online,it is now permanently enabled (visually). I say visually because when offline thou it seems enabled you still cant send now but use only send later.

this is probably for the best for now. sr=sspitzer better to have it always enabled until we can figure the proper fix. after you check in, please log a new bug on File | Send Now always being enabled.

r=blizzard

a= asa@mozilla.org for checkin to the trunk. (on behalf of drivers)

Partial fix checked in -File|Send Now is always enabled now (only visually though functionality remains consistent). Changing summary to reflect the new condition. PDT should re-evaluate this bug now.

That's great. Moving to future milestone.

Why don't we change the status of this bug into RESOLVED? Are we still waiting for any comment or better patch?

This should be marked WFM because it doesnt happen anymore.

Verified on trunk 10/17/02, Win2K.
