Original Redmine bug id: 4602
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4602
Searchable id: yorba-bug-4602
Original author: Adam Dingle
Original description:

It would be nice if the user could expand or contract the message headers
(e.g. From, To, Cc) for each message in a conversation. We should probably
display headers in contracted form by default.

Update: a user has asked below that Geary also display the original time and
timezone when expanded.

Related issues:
related to geary - 6071: always show the 'To:' header (Fixed)

Does "contract" mean "simplify" here? I imagine labels for From, To, CC,
Subject could easily be omitted, the addresses merged and something like
x-mailer left to the expanded view. If that's the plan I'm looking forward to
it.

Updated by Adam Dingle over 1 year ago

Christian: yes, that's the plan, more or less. We could either allow the user
to expand/contract the headers, or just display them in a popup like Gmail
does.

Also worth considering in this design is Stuart Langridge's proposal for an
"SMS mode". Although such a mode is not the intent of this ticket, some of his
thoughts on how that mode would look (elements of the messages that are
removed or hidden) might help conserve space and fit in the spirit of this
ticket. The thread starts here:

May I suggest to show the Date: line with the original timezone when the
headers are expanded?

#7

  * **Description** updated (diff)
  * **Target version** set to _0.3.0_

That's worth considering. We'll see how it looks when we attack this ticket.

Implementing this would also allow us to not show the Subject by default, which would great.

Comment 4 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:26:52 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
