Description Marcelo Sales 2009-02-07 06:06:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Some of the columns that can be shown in the message list panel have icons in their contents (attachments, important, spam/not spam, and others). These columns are normally displayed with only the necessary width to the icons to be shown. Because of that, their headers can not be read/identified if they are texts (only the first one or two letters are shown). The headers of such columns should be icons, as they were in KMail from KDE 4.1.4 and KDE 3.5.x. This is a regression.
Comment 1 Jaime Torres 2009-02-14 12:05:10 UTC 
If it is possible, what about icons and then text?
Comment 2 Marcelo Sales 2009-02-14 12:11:28 UTC 
Well, if the icons are shown left to the text, the problem will be solved. The text will be completely truncated and only the icon would be visible, which is ok for me. I don't see much use for text in the headers these columns, however. They are generally kept with a too small width for any text to be shown in their headers.
Comment 3 vatbier 2009-07-01 17:40:29 UTC 
Same problem in KDE 4.2.2
The headers of these columns of messages list should use icons and not text!
Now I see "Atta|Ne|Impo|Spa" in the headers of the columns. That's not at all easy to understand.
Icons would be better. Complete text would make the width of the columns too large ("Attachment|New|Important|Spam").

SVN commit 1012123 by mkoller:

BUG: 183517

On columns which show only an icon as their content, show also the icon
in the column header instead of the text.
Brings back KDE3 behavior.

Comment 6 Marcelo Sales 2009-11-02 04:33:06 UTC 
I'm running KDE 4.3.2 (Ubuntu packages), but still can't see this fix.
In which version of KDE is this implemented?
Thanks.
