# Message window: Where's the NNW-style widescreen view? Mail-style 3-pane is a total waste of space. I refer back to rentzsch.

Easy to refer back to the entire thread. Doesn't need to happen in the same window as gmail does, tho. That's a web limitation. Could happen in the same window with a split view, the thread showing above. Other ideas? Another thing: the headers. I'm not sure tabbing is the best navigation method. Maybe if the headers were half-free-form? Specifically, they'd belong inside the main text area. You wouldn't be able to edit the header names, etc, but navigation to and fro and be less rigid than distinct text fields for each header. I think this leads to a more compact, navigable, and light-weight view. In mail, the header fields take up waaay too much space. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
