        I have for some time now been converted to reading text in
comfort. I therefore read text at size 14 when the font is nice and
large and when anti-aliasing has kicked in. I had to throw out my
preferred font because of this attachments bar that intrudes on my line
length. I have no problem scrolling in one direction but to scroll in
two directions or putting up with bad window wrapping just doesn't cut
it. :-)

        Right now I need the preview window width to be about 90
characters wide to view most messages without window wrapping kicks in.
To accommodate the attachments bar, I need about a 95 character width, a
width that I cannot get with TB! in full screen mode and the account
folder list getting adequate width. I therefore cannot use my preferred
font at the size I wish to.

        Using folder view is a solution but I'm using colour coding
quite a bit now and the colour coding gets messed up when new messages
are dynamically added to the folder views message list. I've since then
gone back to the preview pane.

        Sometimes I've switched off the attachments view to avoid the
problem but I began occasionally missing attachments. :-(

        Fair enough. :-)
