Re: [Evolution] mailer layout

[Rodd Clarkson <rodd redfishbluefish com au>]

I like this idea.

How hard would it be to be able to change the way the windows are layed
out.  Doesn't Messenger let you configure windows to some degree.

Being able to select a range of different layouts for messages, or even
better, just being able to drag panes to different location in the main
window, or better drag them to totally new windows would make Evolution
much more configurable for everyone (obviously).

I like it!
