I agree that information-hiding should be avoided. 2. I agree that stretches of white-space should not be overly long. I feel that 1. includes faithful representation of the message subject and content, including tabs. If a tab is there, it is either by intent (which we should consider), or by some error (which we could guess at... but I don't think we want to, as tabs in subjects are rather rare). Currently, I think that in the message list, information hiding may take place. (My patch does not address this, but I feel that there actually, it is OK to deviate from faithful representation.) My patch should not give rise to information-hiding, perhaps the tooltip case needs to be treated differently from the envelope view; let me know. Regarding 2.: I tried to set the tab length to something smaller than 8 characters, but alas, it seems that the ‘tab-size’ CSS is not yet supported. In any case, now there is some consistency between what is in the message list and what is in the envelope (which is actually what prompted my report/patch). In the future, this should ‘start to work’, once the Qt html viewer is brought up-to-date. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
