Description Nicos Gollan 2009-09-16 12:13:40 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

With the message list being set above/beyond the message display, and a folder view plus Kontact's icon bar to the side, a lot of screen space is taken from what should be the most important ting: the message itself.

See for example bugs #195259, #180162, #171973

I propose that the structure view should become part of the message view in a less obtrusive way, e.g. a very compact view floated to the right of the header that can be expanded if needed.

That would also reduce issues with the structure popping on and off when browsing through messages that need or don't need it, and could also be designed to cater to more or less complex structures without creating either a small frame that is hard to scroll, or a big empty frame.

I agree, although maybe a simpler fix for the meantime would be to just resize it intelligently; I wouldn't mind the pane being there so much if it didn't take up half of my window for two or three entries.

That's correct. Thank you.

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.
