M155: KMail revamped

[Daniel Vrátil]

dvratil added a comment.

KMail can show the message size in the message list already now, you can completely customize the data displayed in View->Message List->Theme - in case of the revamping, this customizability should not be lost. Also, the way the code is written now, it should be possible to even implement the proposed change alongside the existing one (same goes for the message view as well) - maybe just without the "upcoming event" information. So not really revamp, but evolution, with a fallback for users who would prefer the "old" look :-)

Showing the time to read in the message list would require KMail knowing the contents of the email before opening it, which is not always the case - think maildir or online IMAP, when only headers are stored locally and the entire email is downloaded on demand when you actually open the email.
