Re: [Evolution-hackers] 'vertical' view?

[Ron Smits <rons ronsmits org>]

Maybe I am stupid, by not just shorten the treeview? Something like
this:

+-------------+---------------------------------------+
|Treeview     + Message list                          +
+-----------------------------------------------------+
+(pre_view pane                                       +
+-----------------------------------------------------+
