Your post on the modified milestone schedule isn't showing up in the google groups version of the newsgroup (no idea if regular usenet does show it) - though a reply by yourself on the missing post is there.
I don't know how many of the people to which this would be important information to *know* read through google groups (I suspect not many), but perhaps worth reposting or something?

Argh, sorry Asa, I misread this request as 'blockers for 1.8', not 'blockers for 1.8alpha' and nominated #97283. Apologies :(

Asa, I also do not see your original roadmap posting on my newsserver, only your reply. Please repost.

Asa: what about Junk mail filters not learning at all?
This will create a *lot* of false positives and you will not be able to change that. (Well, as long as you don't shut down Mozilla, it will work, but after restart it wil have forgotten everything.)

It's bug 243680 and you just marked it as blocking1.8a-, maybe because of the first fix that has already gone in. But my tests at least showed that his patch does not help at all.

In case you say "it's only alpha1" I respond:
This forces you to turn off Junk mail filters. But, even worse, most people will only see the false positives and think that Mozilla's Junk filters SUCK.

Luckily, there is already a patch in bugzilla that fixes the problem! It's in bug 193625 and awaiting review. I already compiled it and found it solves the problem.
I'm sure you can ask a few people to get those reviews done in no time at all and get this patch in!

The post not reaching Google groups and other newsservers (including mine) was because Asa attached the roadmap diagram, and lots of places don't allow binary newsgroup posts.

I've just posted a followup quoting Asa's message in full, which should show up on Google groups and elsewhere soon.

It did appear on gmane - http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.devel.seamonkey/cutoff=3333 or http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.devel.seamonkey/3314 for the single article (attachment included).
