(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.4.6 (using KDE 3.0.7 1 beta1))
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-4GB
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi!
the displayed fields are to short 
IMHO the GUI should be desinged in a way that the text in <available filters> is displayed completely.
Even if the window is maximized only 1/3 of the <available filter> text is visible.


BTW if both filter criteria and filter action are extended to the maximum number of 8 each (unlikely) the <apply> button pushed out of the visible part of the screen on a 1024 x 678 display and font size 12 and Keramik
A scrollbar should get visible in this case.

Another HCI issue in that dialog box is the part which controls the filter : 
 - there is a need for drag and drop and multiselection to manage large blocks 
of filters... 
 - there is no "copy this filter" button, to start from an existing one 
 - there is a lack of hierarchical filtering, by example  
	subject start with "URG:" 
		sender contains "@myenterprise.com" -> display dialog 
		else -> put in a special folder
