Ok, I took a look at that, I will try to move the combo boxes in the view menu 
and in sub-menus in the right click menu of headers in the messages list.
I assume this can't be integrated in the trunk while it is frozen. So I can 
take my time :-)

Another idea, maybe the "Open Full Search" button should be just right of the 
quick search field. And the status filter could use the same widget as 
akregator's status filter (I don't know its name).

Vincent
