Michel,

you do not need to change anything just for me, it's all about opinions. I bring my POV, we might discuss to make the points understandable. My point is only to give you feedback. I point out what I think it's not good. I have done a close look at this site for that, most of the stuff I would have not mentioned without it. If you do understand a point but do not agree, there is no action from your part to be done.

>> xyz abcd ghg 1
>>hour ago

>>vs
>> xyz abcd ghg
>>1 hour ago

>>this seems not much space wasted. I guess you will not go into hundreds with hours? General typographic rule is to keep number and unit on one line.

Occasionally, they do. So, in the image attached, if a wrap would be enforced, this would have created an additional lines, 8 more lines in that sequence in total. This is a matter of preference which is based on the data which relates. If you would have gotten a sequence such as I just showed, you would probably not have seen it. So, it all depends on the data. As your personal preference seems to force the timestamp to always be on a dedicated line, a setting for that as well can do.

Well you know, I'm on the simple last 10 thing anyway.
For the problem above I do not see a line wasted. See the picture attached. All I say is that the 9 should wrap to the next line, in this special case. Or in other words 9 should never stand without there unit hours. This is a principle rule of writing down messurements. If they fit after the Message header, anything is fine. If you simple use an non breaking space, the 9 should move with the hours and all is fine.

The inside scrollbar is the one for the memo field to input the message you are creating or replying to. That one appears if there is more text that it can show. Those two are normal behaviors of the browser.

I understand why this is so right now.
I guess we had a similar discussion before. Somehow the data input in this limited area here for the long messages seems to be the problem. The question is: Might there be something more elegant? This is nothing for the next hours, this is something major to rethink. No instant action.
Half the time I edit the stuff in an external editor, because this tiny 17 line edit thing is so limiting. This is lesser then on Wordstar under CP/M, and there is such a big screen. :(
