I just committed a new series of performance improvements and a little
fix in the TnyMsgView type. These performance improvements aren't going
to have such a large impact, but will make the "snappyness" of the
application better (click-speed).
The fix was resetting the GtkTextBuffer in stead of only resetting the
seek location to zero. This "rewrites" in stead of "overwrites" the text
data in the buffer. If your new e-mail was smaller than the previous
e-mail, and the buffer got reused (it does), then you could still see
part of the previous e-mail. Funny stupid little buggie ;-) caused by
trying to not allocate new objects (like textviews and textbuffers).
So .. if contributing to tinymail, always make sure you reset reused
instances correctly. And punish me if I don't do it.
