Note to localizers: mailnews.messageid_browser.url changed on SM2.0/TB3.0 branch (Bug 554901)
Jens Hatlak
I just committed a change to comm-1.9.1 from which SeaMonkey 2.0.7 and
Thunderbird 3.0.7 will be released. The mailnews.messageid_browser.url
property value was updated to reflect the new Google Groups address for
searching newsgroups by Message ID.
The commit was:
<http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-1.9.1/rev/73960f7358c1>
for Bug 554901:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554901>
I don't know whether Google provides localized versions of the service.
You need to know/check that yourself. You may take the URL in
debug-utils.js, which was adapted as well, as an example.
The above property is used for the Open Browser With Message-ID action
available from the context menu of entries of the References header pane
line. The property is also used by some extensions, for example
MessageID-Finder <http://messageidfinder.mozdev.org/> and Mnenhy
<http://mnenhy.mozdev.org/>. Without the change, searching the Internet
for a MID fails since Google doesn't accept the old address anymore.
Greetings,
Jens

http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-1.9.2/rev/2d4efc6ed8ca. And for
those keeping l10n-central up-to-date, you want that on three repos.

I assume that on central, the key was changed?
Jens Hatlak
No it was not. My reasoning was that the meaning didn't change. I that
that made it hard for localizers to notice, though.
Bug 589593 is for adding an l10n note and possibly changing the key.

IIRC, this is a localized pref, if we'd want to change the ID, we'd need
to change the pref name and break everyone who ever did set the pref
manually. And that's something we don't want to do.
