Cutting away the subject lines is a high price to pay for a litte screen estate - it's what we want the screen estate for in the first place. Nevertheless, I added a version that is a bit more optimized on being space efficient: http://debain.org/img/blog/mailclient2.png
It's still wasting an *incredible* amount of space chewing up all that real estate repeating Reply, Reply to All, Forward & Mover for every message. Blech. You're a D-D. You know how long and nested the threads in d-devel & d-user can get. The wasted screen space ensures that the subjects would get disappear after half a dozen messages. No, the split pane is about as good as you're going to get it in a 1-window (well, 2, since the email can be in a separate window) environment. Now, a multi-window system similar to the Nautilus spacial view, where the folder list is in it's own window, and the subject list has *it's* own window, that would be useful, so that you could have long threads + From, To & CC columns. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Temporarily not of Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
