[Feature Request]Reply shows only 'Write...'

[thuck]

This is a feature request than a bug, but using the Compose to reply I got only 'Write...' in the tab title, would it be nice if some extra information could be showed like the subject, if its a reply or a fwd, since sometimes I let several tabs opened to answer later and it's hard to find out the one that I want to answer first.
It could be something like 'Reply [subject]'; 'Fwd [Subject]', and leave the 'Write...' only for news messages...

Thanks

Are you running the 0.2 version? The "Write..." should change to
"Write... " followed by the subject as soon as you focus out of the
subject field. This sounds like an easy fix, and I'd gladly accept a
patch for this issue :-)

Now I'm running the 0.3pre; and you are right it's not a difficult change, as the default configuration of thunderbird include the Re and Fwd in the begging of the subject should be enough, so I did a patch to have the subject in the title without the need of focus, also it will update the title after any change in the subject. Now I think I'm going to work on something to change favicon dynamically, so if it's a reply or a forward will be easier to identify, anyway below the patch, if you need it any different way by e-mail or something like that let me know.

hi protz, I cleanup the patch, since some parts that I included are not necessary for this modification, I uploaded it to the gist, I think it will be easier to get it from there, below the link:

Thanks! I'll look it into it real soon.
