Description nw9165-3201 2014-05-25 21:14:06 UTC
Dear Claws Mail developers,

please add horizontal separation lines between messages in the two line vertical three column layout.

It's done like that in Geary, so you can see what I mean by looking at the picture which is shown over there for example:

http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/geary-yorba-working-on-new-lightweight.html

It would be much appreciated.

IMHO, it might also be a good idea to set:

use_stripes_in_summaries=0

as default then.

Regards

PS:

Here are some more pictures from Geary, but this time from a newer Geary version:

http://worldofgnome.org/geary-0-5-what-are-yorbas-guys-doing/

In the new version, the horizontal separation lines between the messages are solid and not dotted like they have been previously. The new solid lines look much better than the old dotted lines IMHO.

And here's is another picture, but this time from Microsoft Outlook 2013:

As you can see, Microsoft Outlook 2013 also has horizontal separation lines between the messages in the message list.

Those separation lines make the message list a lot neater IMHO.

Please add them to the Claws Mail message list.

Regards

Hi,

This is not the kind of GUI we want to do.

Hello,

could you please add it as an option then? Making it a hidden option would be fine as well.

Regards
