Description Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-12-03 16:43:41 UTC
The attachment pane lacks the *highly* useful feature of "minimizing". If there
is any attachment, the attachment pane wastes Composer real-estate galore. There
is absolutely no way of wasting less space and having more space to see the
message you are actually typing.

Please, add that handy triangle thingy back to the Attachment pane.

This is a regression from 2.2 and a serious usability issue.


While it is a good thing to automatically open the attachment pane, when adding
an attachment, not having the option to minimize it is very bad. Displaing the
contents of the Attachment pane makes the user aware he just added an
attachment, preventing sending attachments by accident. But please, let the user
decide if he needs space to type a message.

Just get freakin triangle  thingy back.

It is *bad* to remove useful features. And BTW, thanks for *not* listening to
the discussion on the lists... :-/  GAR

Sorry, this likely is Evolutio/Mailer, not GtkHTML. Re-assigning.
