Description Ben Liblit 2001-07-22 00:16:32 UTC 
Create a situation in which a mail folder is open but no message is
selected.  Numerous menu items remain enabled, even though they have
no meaning without a message to operate upon:

    File -> Open Message
    File -> Save As
    File -> Print Preview
    File -> Print Message
    File -> Select Thread
    Edit -> Cut
    Edit -> Copy
    Edit -> Search Message
    Edit -> Delete
    Edit -> Undelete
    Edit -> Mark As Read
    Edit -> Mark As Unread
    Edit -> Mark As Important
    View -> Message Display -> Load Images
    View -> Hide Selected Messages
    Actions -> Reply to Sender
    Actions -> Reply to List
    Actions -> Reply to All
    Actions -> Forward Message
    Actions -> Forward As -> Forward Attached
    Actions -> Forward As -> Forward Inline
    Actions -> Forward As -> Forward Quoted
    Actions -> Forward As -> Redirect (FIXME: implement me)
    Actions -> Move to Folder
    Actions -> Copy to Folder
    Tools -> Create Filter From Message -> Filter on Subject
    Tools -> Create Filter From Message -> Filter on Sender
    Tools -> Create Filter From Message -> Filter on Recipients
    Tools -> Create Filter From Message -> Filter on Mailing List
    Tools -> Create Virtual Folder From Message -> VFolder on Subject
    Tools -> Create Virtual Folder From Message -> VFolder on Sender
    Tools -> Create Virtual Folder From Message -> VFolder on Recipients
    Tools -> Create Virtual Folder From Message -> VFolder on Mailing List

Similarly, the following buttons on the main toolbar should be
disabled when there is no selected message:

    Compose
    Reply
    Reply to All
    Forward
    Move
    Copy
    Print
    Delete

Forgot one:

	Actions -> Apply Filters

That item should be disabled either when there are no selected
messages, or when there are no filters defined.
