Description Balazs Nagy 2002-09-08 07:22:48 UTC
Adding View->Message Display and View->Text Size menus to opened message
header menu should increase ease of use.

Scenario: Random J. Hacker.
R. J. Hacker has a 17' monitor and he has 1280x1024 true color screen. He
does everything by keyboard, but he utilizes mouse because he likes to
select the paragraph he reads (there're a lot of characters on the screen,
and his eyes can get lost easily). There's a letter from an email list and
he wants to unsubscribe.  He forgot long ago what the unsubscribe method
is, but he knows a lot about e-mail lists, and he can decide how to
unsubscribe, by a row or two from the full header.

Actual Results:
His pointer is on the preview pane, thus he has to search View menu (he's
in the feeling of being angry to that crap e-mail list and doesn't think
about Alt+V, M, H).  His eyes moved to far away and gets lost again.

Expected Results:
He would click right mouse button (on the message, not just the header),
and he would search for full headers option easily.

hi balazs,
since evolution 2.4 there is a "control + u" keyboard shortcut to show the message source, which is the same shortcut as for example in thunderbird or firefox.

we do not want to have even more menu items in the context menu, so i am setting this to WONTFIX. the ctrl+u shortcut should suffice.
