I've cross-posted this to both TB and SM newsgroups as it can apply to
both, and then set follow-up to SM as I don't read TB.
I've got my Mail/News screen set up with the Accounts down the left
hand
side, the threads displaying in the top right and the message in the
bottom right. This often results in a lot of wasted, white, screen
space
in the Message display area.
I think, in the preferences/options, somewhere (I cannot find it just
ATT!), this can be changed to, I think, three slices right across the
screen.
In these days where screens often are wider than in by-gone days, I
would like to know if it is, easily, possible to set the screen up so
that the Threads screen is right across the top of the screen, the
Accounts down what's left on the left of the screen and the Message
screen in the bottom right of the screen??
Effectively, leave the Message Pane as is, reduce the height of the
Accounts Pane and increase the width of the Threads Pane.
If you have a wide screen - why not set Options > Layout to Vertical
View. On my 16:9 screen, I find that layout with the Folders
squashed to
the left (font size reduced in userChrome.css - so it squashes even
more) leaves acres of room for the Message tree next and the message
body to the right of that.
Because I want a very wide (width of screen) Thread pane and not so tall
Accounts pane, as I explained in my original post!
That way, I'll be able to see the full name of a message, even if it is
indented twenty posts!!
View > Unread works for that.
but then, Walt, as I understand this setting, messages with-in a thread
*do not* necessarily appear one after another, but are inter-mixed with
messages from other threads. *Or am I wrong??* (Just checking, I suppose
if I had "Sort by subject" ..... Nupp, not how I work!! ;-)
Everyone works differently.
My headings in the Thread Pane are "Thread", "Subject", "Status",
"From", "Date", and "Order Received". Sort order is by "Order Received",
"Ascending", "Threaded".
I don't see any inter-mixed messages.
You could reduce the number of headings in the Thread Pane to make the
"Subject" heading longer. You may already have done that. You could make
it the only heading.
I feel your pain on the indentation of the subject. Sometimes I switch
to View: All, and just shake my head. Some of those topics in m.general
just go on forever. :)
