Tried it out. As Benny said, the install was flawless and per other
comments, the single column + Correspondence Layout with settings
changes — shutting off additional columns, turning off the alternate
row coloring – makes for a nice look. Agree on your cleaner comment.
Particularly, I like the two line nature of the Subject section.
Respectfully,

The new better (cleaner/robust/faster?) implementation means that
I'll now be able to, finally, add the option of a single column
message list. This part is not fully implemented yet, but I believe
I'm relatively close to being able to release a crude first shot at
it.
This first shot is now available as a direct download only:
[MailMate_r5965.tbz](https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/MailMate_r5965.tbz)
It's a major update (with respect to code changes) and I'm a bit
worried about the number of bugs possibly introduced (write me via
“Help > Send Feedback”). The message list is almost completely
rewritten even though it should essentially look the same as before.
It does, experimentally, support a single column mode. This is a bit
cumbersome to try out for now though. You'll have to enable the new
“Standard Single Column” and then disable the other columns, but
this should then work well in the Widescreen layout. I'd also
recommend disabling the alternate row coloring option in the Viewer
preferences pane.
Some very low level hints below for those who love tinkering with
things while also being willing to break them.

There's a new settings file which is mostly identical to the one used
by the old message list. It's located here:
MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/MmMessageListView/outlineColumns.plist
This can be extended by creating this path and file:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessageListView/outlineColumns.plist
Example content could then be (this is identical to the current
default):
```
{
columns =
{
mycustomcolumn = {
title = "Custom Single Column";
type = "multivalue";
sortKey = "#date-received";
minimumWidth = 200;
layout = {
leftAligned = (
( { columnKey = "read"; }, { columnKey = "security"; }, {
columnKey = "correspondent"; /*minimumWidth = 200.0;*/ }, ),
( { columnKey = "flag"; }, { columnKey = "short_tags"; }, {
columnKey = "subject"; }, ),
);
rightAligned = (
( { columnKey = "date"; }, ),
( { columnKey = "size"; }, { columnKey =
"attachments"; }, ),
);
};
};
};
}
```
The column keys are used to “reuse” the values defined for other
columns. It's also possible to have inline formatting of other values,
but I haven't really tested that.
There's also another new settings file:
MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/MmMessageListView/rowActions.plist
This can be copied and then altered in the following location:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessageListView/rowActions.plist
This will allow custom swiping actions to be defined. Note that these
are currently only available multi-value columns. (I guess that could
be optional.)
