First of all, I want to thank you for having an issue with the design *and taking action* on it, it's very much appreciated, and a rare quality. I actually am a fan of your idea, and think that if done properly, could balance the "cleaner design" without having such a radical change.

Noted, that would indeed be a separate bug though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1347305 Title: Address fields are grey when composing messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1347305/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
