Personally I wouldn't want to reduce the Subject column width.
Instead, hitting the ARROW-LEFT key a few times (while the focus is on
the message list) always does the trick for me.
Compliments are due to Ritlabs for the intelligent way these
ARROW-LEFT and ARROW-RIGHT keys function in the message list view. In
all other applications I've ever heard of, hitting one of the two
ARROW keys will only move the view slightly to the right or slightly
to the left. In The Bat!, though, the two ARROW keys allow you to
navigate swiftly the whole width of the message list, back and forth
in no time, which is great.
On the other hand, this doesn't mean that a full-screen view of the
message list should not be available in the main window. Such a view
is a must -- alas, currently not available.
