           Summary: mail list pain: visual aid for setting column width
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Problems:
1) how to set the width for icon-column (todo for example) so you can be sure it takes _minimal_ required space to display the icon
2) how to set the width in total of all columns that they take exactly the width of the pane

It would be good to see KMail gives user a hand. My suggestions:
1) being able to set the column is fixed-width, adjusted-to-content (but note -- potential content, user does not have to have todo icon in the list)
2.1) being able to set that width (in total) is dynamic -- when user changes the size of the pane, the width of columns change (I don't like it)
2.2) being able to just tell in given moment "adjust to pane" -- so it fits well now, but when the user change the pane size, the columns are not change (I like it better -- the reason: most of the time I work with KMail with fixed size, i.e. maximized; once set I can work another 10 years without changing anything)
