Description Ferdinand Gassauer 2002-11-25 17:52:25 UTC

Version:           1.5 (using KDE 3.1.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.2.19

Hi!
IMHO the From/to represenation could be improved in composer and header files.

Problem: all receipients are on ONE line and get wrapped, making it extremly difficult to check who is on the list.
in composer the line does not even get wrapped, but one has to scroll through ONE line making it almost impossilbe to check/remember who is on the list

possible solution:
put ONE receipient on ONE line
either only in KDE and in th message header (which migth not be possible)

Moreover, it would be nice to limit number of lines displayed with patological number of recepients to some reasonable limit (4?). Secretary of our department sends memos around with some 150 recipients -- it is ugly to scroll couple of pages, just to get through To: line. Yes, I could use Brief Headers, but cannot I get both -- list of recipients and readability?

Thanks,

Matej

yes one line per address and eventually show the associated name which is stored in the adressbook.

this should work for all headers (To, From, CC..)

Comment 3 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-07-26 17:54:48 UTC

Clicking "Select Email Addresses" (the button with 3 dots !!) displays the the addresses one per line - nice solution.
thanks

Comment 4 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-09-12 17:36:42 UTC

the method I mentioned above works only in composer. it would also be nice to have such a fine listening for incoming mail.
It is not very user friendly to hit "replay to all" fist and then hit on the button with the dots to see the recipients in a readable form.

Comment 5 Matej Cepl 2004-10-26 23:00:11 UTC

Following comments made my comment #1 off-topic here -- it should be bug #48219 now, which is BTW somehow semi-DUP to this one.

Comment 6 Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-02-05 07:38:50 UTC

IMHO a very nice solution now (2005-02-05) for the composer window.

still missing a similar solution for received mail (view and print).

a toggle button to switch between "one line per address" and the current solution

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Comment 8 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 01:07:04 UTC

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
