           Summary: KMail conflict dialog hard to read (different column
                    widths)
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: UI
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde-bugs at cboltz.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

(initially reported as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734595 )

The KMail 2 conflict dialog (when KMail detects that it has possibly stored 2
copies of a mail (or something like that) and asks which one to keep) is very
hard to read.

The reason is that the columns showing the two mails have a different width
(see screenshot at https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=465660 ),
which means you can't directly visually compare both mails.

I'd propose the following changes:

1. easy to do and very useful: give both columns the same width

2. also easy: increase the default window size of the conflict dialog

3. harder: additionally implement highlighting of the differences - maybe you
can reuse kdiff3 for that?
