This morning's 0.16.3+ development snapshot is up: http://armedbear.org/j.zip (source and documentation) http://armedbear.org/j-jar.zip (just j.jar) Starting with the 0.16.3+ snapshot series, Enter has been mapped by default in mailbox mode to mailboxReadMessageOtherWindow, which (as its name suggests) displays the message in question in another window, splitting the current window if necessary. This second window is roughly analogous to what Outlook and Evolution call a preview pane. By default, the original window is split in half, which may not be exactly ideal. You can, of course, adjust things by dragging the window divider up or down, and starting with today's snapshot, j remembers the position of the window divider and restores it correctly the next time it is necessary for mailboxReadMessageOtherWindow to split the window, so your preview pane will continue to be whatever size you've set, even across sessions. If, in the interim (i.e. while the preview pane is closed), you change the size of j's main window, the preview pane divider will be repositioned, at the next invocation of mailboxReadMessageOtherWindow, at the same relative height as before (relative, that is, to the total available height within the editor frame). This remembering of the divider position only applies to the preview pane and mailboxReadMessageOtherWindow. Other commands that split the window continue to split it in half, and adjustments to the divider position in other split-window situations are not remembered. You can use the command escape, mapped by default to the Escape key, to dismiss the preview pane, leaving a full-height view of the mailbox again. (The command mailboxReadMessage, which was mapped by default to Enter in mailbox mode prior to the recent snapshot series, is now mapped to Ctrl Enter, so if you prefer a full-height message buffer, Ctrl Enter is your friend.) Thanks for your support. -Peter |
