The way the new Outlook does it: http://www.activewin.com/screenshots/office2k3b2/newmessage.jpg which actually makes sense (documents are generally long, not wide). thanks, Eugenia
Added in CVS: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan/pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=prefs.c&rev1=1.343&rev2=1.344&root=/cvs/gnome http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan/pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=gui-paned.c&rev1=1.75&rev2=1.76&root=/cvs/gnome http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=ANNOUNCE.html&rev1=1.111&rev2=1.112&root=/cvs/gnome However, I'm not certain that this will be as useful in a newsreader as it is in a mail client, because Usenet threads tend to nest more deeply than in mail. IMO this layout will be most useful for people who read with threading turned off. I also notice that the OE screenshot has multiple lines per selectable 'row' in the header pane; this is won't be possible in Pan until we upgrade to the gtk2 tree widget. With that in mind I'll hold off on tweaking the header pane in this layout mode until I get ahold of OE and play with it a bit.
