Looks really nice! Here's a few comments:
It crashes Safari (Mac OS X 10.4.x) when I try to select a message in the list
when I already have a message open. Ouch!
With Firefox (Deer Park Alpha 2), it works.
The subject summaries in 'Message List' doesn't list the month - it just says
'Monday 01, 11:03:35' - I really think we need to emit the month there. (Yes,
it's on the top, but that's easy to miss.)
What is the pattern for the 'Message List' for showing the next messages in
the sequence? I'm not sure how many messages it is trying to show - it
doesn't seem consistent to me.
One feature I like is having the 'Site Index' link - this is in mod_mbox
trunk. How about having the 'Mailing list archives' also having a 'site
index' link so you can view what other archives are present fro that site.
I agree with Garrett that having the 'next' and 'prev' links should also
appear at the *bottom* of the message - this is so that when you read the
message, you can then click to read the next message in the thread w/o
scrolling up.
Most critically, I think the 'next' and 'prev', and numbered links can become
confusing when trying to read a message. If you want to read the next message
in the thread - clicking the 'message list' 'next'/'prev' links brings you
out. So, finding some way to resolve that to make it clearer for the user -
perhaps merely adding prev/next message in 'message view' list would be good.
Or, have some way of hiding (or disabling) the list navigation when we have a
message view active.
But, again, it looks a lot better than what we have today. Cool. -- justin
