Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Just like the detail view of a package in kpackagekit, kmail could show the body of a mail under its entry in the mail view just by clicking on it, thus saving a preview panel and avoiding opening another window to view a mail if one choses not to have a preview-pane. This is specially handy in small screens.

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.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
Yes, I would still like to see this feature implemented in kmail2. Thanks for triaging.
