Yes, I know, but as I said, a multi-message message history is where the formatting becomes loathesome on the Web site. So it would be informative to see whether it's better on a mobile. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote: Show message history will just show all the messages inline as you scroll down so a screenshot would not be very informative.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Re: FFL Neo Mobile
Multi messages are shown inline just the same way they are shown on desktop. The main difference between desktop and mobile is 1) you only get the message list and not the sidebars and 2) they provide an option to list the rest of the messages rather than downloading all of them. Progressive scrolls save data charges for some people on mobile though for me it would be hard to rack up more than 5 GB a month and at home I just get the stuff on the phone wifi anyway.

RE: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Re: FFL Neo Mobile
Good lord. I'd been giving Yahoo a tiny bit of benefit of the doubt, assuming the disastrous formatting on the Web site was an inevitable consequence of making it work on mobile. But if the formatting is just as bad on mobile, then there really is no excuse. The Neo interface is just an incompetently designed piece of software from the get-go. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote: Multi messages are shown inline just the same way they are shown on desktop.
