Description Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre 2011-04-05 13:53:05 UTC 
From downstream: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/682806

"the message preview pane when running "evolution --express" is no longer visible at all. Neither toggling View->Preview->Show Message Preview nor toggling Ctrl+M does anything."
Comment 1 André Klapper 2011-04-06 09:32:51 UTC 
Confirming.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2011-04-07 21:38:01 UTC 
That's by design, like it or not.  The true bug here is the View -> Preview menu should be completely removed in express mode.
Comment 4 Henry Gomersall 2011-05-08 08:09:45 UTC 
It might be by design, but why?

It makes checking email 1 double click, 1 single clicks and 2 precise mouse movements against a single click and a vertical nudge with the preview screen. This is a fairly serious workflow regression when one has many emails to check.

A list of emails is next to useless without being able to easily read them.
