I label a lot of news messages, but I would like to be able to sort
threads and/or messages by label.

An option should specify whether the replies/answers to a labelled
messages shall inherit that label or not.

Please also forward this request to the Mozilla news reader

I am 'just' maintaining this stuff. If you have suggestions regarding
the debian thunderbird, I will definitly be more eagerly implementing them!

Let me know if you can do it and please attach the upstream bugnumber if
you have opened a wishlist bug to this bug, so I can monitor the progress!

If you already received this message, because you had an important
bug open, just ignore it.

Hi,

you receive this mail because you submitted a bug report
to the mozilla-thunderbird package.

If you already received this message, because you had an important
bug open, just ignore it.

Mozilla Thunderbird is quiet popular and thus has lots of bugs open.
Verifying one by one with each release on my own would be a really
hard task, so I heavily depend on the testing and quality feedback
of the package users.

As you might have noticed Thunderbird 0.9 has been released about a
week ago. Finally I have uploaded a package for that version to my
preview and backports repository. The apt lines can be found at [1].

In addition to testing the upgrade path I ask you for help to verify
if your bug is still present. So please take a minute or two and
install the preview package to look if everything is fine and if your
bug is still present. The preview package is currently build for
sarge, so if you encounter any problems installing them in unstable,
let me know! I might build another version for the current sid too!

And remember, please drop a note to your bug report mentioning the
outcome of your test.

Note: If you encounter any new bugs or upgrade bugs in the new
package, please don't post them to the debian BTS by now, since I
will try to fix as many as possible before I upload it to the debian
archives. Just send them to me with the subject line starting with
'[previewbug]'.

Thanks for all your help testing and improving and actually caring
for this package.

Cheers,

Alexander

please keep this bug open. it is still impossible with TB 0.9 to sort
mails or news by flag or labels.

This works for me. You have to assure that view -> threads -> ignored
threads is not flagged

Can you please explain if those options are buggy or not just the
options you want?

BTW, I must warn you that I may be the wrong person to go for to get new
features in thunderbird. I only take care for the packaging and
integration with debian. Minor improvements are of course possible too.
So maybe go upstream directly and post a wishlist bug
in bugzilla. A good idea is to discuss this in the official web based
forums at
http://forums.mozillazine.org before doing so. Hope you understand that
I don't have
the time to implement new features, especially if I never missed them :).

If you still want these two bug to be open for documentation purpose,
let me know. If there is no buggy behaviour of the options provided I
would suggest to close this bug.

Thanks

Alexander
