In thunderbird RSS account setting,check "By default,show article summary instead of loading the web page", it doesn't work

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create RSS News & Blogs account
2.Click "Manage Subscriptions", in the pop up window,click Add button
3.In the "Feed Properties" dialog, chart Feed URL:http://blogs.techrepublic.com/wp-rss2.php,uncheck "Show the article summary instead of loading the web page"
4.Click OK
5.Witness the TechRepublic Blogs are loaded in,it load the web page
6.Click Edit-> Account Settings 
7.Select just created RSS News & Blogs account,check "By default,show article summary instead of loading the web page."

Notice the loaded messages in RSS News & Blogs account still load the web page,not the summary.

This also always appears in Thunderbird-1.5.0.12-17.el4 - x86_64 (ja_JP) and ppc (zh_TW) on RHEL4U7.

I don't think this will be fixed for RHEL4, which support covers now only security and major bugs.

Closing as WONTFIX
