OK
OTOH it will still end
up with a column size of -10 pt about the time threads get interesting.
Another fundamentally broken aspect of tree views.
Not inherently. That is a fundamentally broken aspect of placing the
messages bodies in-line with a tree views.
And if anyone keeps more than about 3 layers of quoting you need to be
Tolstoy to be more than half the content.
Well, the way I see it, if you're quoting more than two lines at a
time, you're probably over-quoting.
Exactly.
Remember, in both linear and tree views, getting back to the
parent post is very easy,
How? I don't see any back links?
and if someone is reading the reply, it
is likely that he read the parent already anyway.
Only true for me about 40-50% of the time: "So-n-so responded to this
sub tree so there might be something interesting in it, so I will start
reading there."
I hit the N key or look for the bold titles.
How is that N key implemented?
boldEach(find!"a.timestamp> b"(sort!"a.timestamp< b.timestamp")
(messages));
or something like that.
I don't really know, but I assume thunder-bird stores a bit somewhere
for each post indicating what I've opened. Anything based on time stamp
would be useless as I very rarely read thread in time order.
