Hi everyone, I begun porting the email printing to WebKit. Since I can take advantage of CSS and very good printing support in WebKit, I decided to look on how the printed emails should look like.
But I'd like to hear from all of you what do you think about the proposed look, what would you change or keep, or remove... I have printed the email in various mail clients so that you can compare it and find some inspiration :) Evolution - new look: http://pub.progdan.cz/evo/evo-webkit.pdf Evolution - current look: http://pub.progdan.cz/evo/evo-master.pdf KMail 2 (KDE 4.7.2): http://pub.progdan.cz/evo/kmail.pdf Thunderbird 7.0.1: http://pub.progdan.cz/evo/thunderbird.pdf GMail: http://pub.progdan.cz/evo/gmail.pdf MS Outlook 2007: http://pub.progdan.cz/evo/outlook.pdf I like the idea of the big header in MS Outlook, just instead of recipient's name I'd rather put there subject of the email, because when you have a pile of printed emails on the table, you most probably want to search by their subject. Seeing your name in big letters on every email makes no sense to me. Attachments. I actually don't like the way any of the clients handle attachments (maybe Thunderbird...). Listing of attachments is ugly and the title of every attachment is quite ugly as well. I'm proposing the top panel with attachment icons and names (which is actually very similar to the attachment bar you can see in Evolution in the email preview pane) and then having a big distinguishible header above each attachment with more detailed informations, or maybe just a horizontal line with small attachment title and additional informations. So guys, what do you think? What would you like to see in Evo-printing :) ? - Dan _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
