Description Maurizio Colucci 2003-06-20 16:28:51 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I have many mailing lists, where the messages are organized by threads.



Kmail currently displays a thread like that:

Hello! How are you! This is the title.

I have many mailing lists, where the messages are organized by threads. 
 
Sorry, the bugs page has reformatted my page, rendering everything unreadable. 
Now I am going to replace all spaces with hyphens (-).

It would be very useful to have something like agent or Xnews: 
 
------ 
 
Hello! How are you! This is the title.-------------------me 
---jack 
------frank 
---frank 
------john 
------me

This latter layout: 
 
1) is much less redundant. You can focus on important information leaving out 
useless repetitions. 
 
2) allows to quickly locate the replies to your posts.

Cool, but perhaps make it optional?
Comment 3 Maurizio Colucci 2004-08-18 15:58:37 UTC
This has been the default in Forte Agent for years. Also Xnews uses it.

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 7 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 01:02:06 UTC
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
