Description Frank Reininghaus 2008-11-08 18:12:59 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I'm referring to the new message list, merged in revision 881321. If the skin of a folder is set to "Simple" instead of "Fancy", the contents of the "Date", "Most Recent Date", and "Size" columns are right-aligned.

In my opinion, left-alignment improves the readability a lot. Because it was also used in the "old" message list in KDE 4.1.x, I would actually consider this a bug (and not a wish). I'll attach a patch in a minute. Note that you have to delete the [MessageListView::Skins] section in kmailrc in order for the change to take effect.

Reassigning to kdepim-bugs. IMHO, this can go straight to the developers ;-)

Left-align date and size in the simple skin, to match the old behavior.
