           Summary: Message structure should become integral part of
                    message display
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: gtdev at spearhead.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

With the message list being set above/beyond the message display, and a folder
view plus Kontact's icon bar to the side, a lot of screen space is taken from
what should be the most important ting: the message itself.

See for example bugs #195259, #180162, #171973

I propose that the structure view should become part of the message view in a
less obtrusive way, e.g. a very compact view floated to the right of the header
that can be expanded if needed.

That would also reduce issues with the structure popping on and off when
browsing through messages that need or don't need it, and could also be
designed to cater to more or less complex structures without creating either a
small frame that is hard to scroll, or a big empty frame.
