Separated from bug 80838, following file contains "Mozilla" or "Netscape", make it localizable if possible (e.g. by using "&brandShortName;"). # Containing "Mozilla" mailnews/compose/resources/locale/en-US/composeMsgs.properties mailnews/local/resources/locale/en-US/localMsgs.properties # "Containing "Netscape" mailnews/imap/resources/locale/en-US/imapMsgs.properties
Ray, please review those files and if they needs code change then reassign to putterman.

I found the Netscape reference, but I couldn't find the mozilla references using lxr. Reassigning to ssu.

I fixed the Mozilla references over in bug 80838. It's just imapMsgs.properties that needs fixing, but the fix isn't trivial. Gerv
Narrowing SUMMARY.
Summary: Mozilla and Netscape are hardwired in some mail/news DTD files → Netscape hardwired in imapMsgs.properties

Although this is now a different bug from bug 80838, I would like to politely point out that I did some work over there removing hardcoded "Mozilla"s in time for nsbeta1, on the understanding that some Netscape employee would reciprocate and remove the hardcoded Netscape's at some point, preferable for 0.9.2. We are now at 0.9.4. :-| Gerv
Added mscott@netscape.com on the cc list.

<cough> I hope ssu is still planning to fix this pretty soon. I have pointed out before in this bug why that would be the honourable thing to do. If it's not fixed soon, I may fix it myself by changing all the instances of "Netscape" to "Mozilla", to match the tree this code resides in. Gerv
I'm working on it. I've been recently distracted by other higher priority bugs.
Thanks :-) I quite understand. Gerv

Attached patch patch v1.1 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This patch will replace the hard coded references of 'Netscape' with '%S'. I've added localization comments to each property affected. There are no code changes needed because I couldn't find any place (via lxr) that referenced these property strings.

If they aren't used, surely we should be removing them rather than fixing them? They are just bloat otherwise. Gerv
I'm not sure if removing them is the correct thing to do. It looks like David might have done some of this work. David, did you work on this before?
No, I just ported over the messages from 4.x in the very early days of 6.0 - it turned out that we didn't use some of them, because we didn't get around to upgrading from Communicator 4.0 (or maybe we decided we wouldn't support that). Let me know which messages you're suggesting we remove and I'll let you know if it seems reasonable to me. If you want to remove the messages about upgrading to imap subscription, that's fine.
The messages in question are the ones with 'Netscape' in them. Here is a list of the ones I found: 5016=Folder creation succeeded, but Netscape was unable to subscribe the new folder. 5017=Folder deletion succeeded, but Netscape was unable to unsubscribe from the folder. 5018=Folder move succeeded, but Netscape was unable to subscribe to the new folder name. 5019=Folder move succeeded, but Netscape was unable to unsubscribe from the old folder name. 5022=While trying to automatically subscribe, Netscape has found a large number of mail folders. Please select which folders you would like subscribed. 5023=Netscape has detected that you have upgraded from a previous version of Communicator. You will need to choose which mail folders you want subscribed. 5025=Would you like Netscape to try to automatically subscribe to all your folders? 5027=Please wait while Netscape upgrades you to use IMAP mail folder subscriptions...
If none of those are used, go ahead and delete them.

Attachment #62055 - Attachment is obsolete: true
I can say that this removes the messages, but I'm not qualified to say whether it'll break anything. LXR seems to indicate that these aren't used, and if it builds with them removed, then that should be fine. If it builds and nothing breaks, r=gerv. Gerv
you'll need to remove the corresponding entries from nsImapStringBundle.h to see if things rebuild.
Are you sure that no JS uses them?
I searched for the @name fields - was that the wrong thing to do? You're right - they aren't preprocessor macros. My mistake. Gerv
This patch includes diffs to nsImapStringBundle.h and imapMsgs.properties. Imap dir (and the main mailnews dir) builds fine with the patch (I did a clobber build in both). I also did a global grep in the mailnews dir for the string ids in question, and found no other references to them. Let me know if there's a check I have missed.
