Build 2000-05-12-10M16: Win95, Linux 6.0, Mac 9.04 Overview: When a 3pane toolbar button appears disabled it does not display a tooltip. Expected Results: Even when a toolbar button is disabled it should display a tooltip. For instance, when the account level is selected the "Reply" button is disabled. Hovering the mouse over the Reply button should display a tooltip. If this logic is correct then I need to log additional bugs for New Message/Compose and the Address Book.

I protest -- tooltips are part of the help strategy. Users need to know what dimmed buttons are for, just as much as they need to know what the non-dimmed stuff is. How hard is this to do? BTW, on the Mac, the equivalent of tooltips (balloons) are applied to all states of all buttons.
