I really don't see an improvement in the new expand-all-options-and-headers-at-once solution you're proposing for the compose screen. There are several levels of "expansion" in the current compose screen (so as they where in the old skin). It's common that one wants to add a CC or BCC field when composing a new message. This level of extensibility is perfectly covered with the (+) Add ... links we now have. More advanced options are hidden in the area between headers and the body. I use them way less than adding a CC. Therefore it makes sense to me, to have them in a different location and hidden by a separate Options button. Since they mostly affect message headers, the location of this options palette is IMO just right.
In my opinion in the old skin (and larry) the "Add CC" and others links were added because lack of vertical space, but ok.
It also more intuitive for the user. I want to add a Cc: very often and I immediately seen an option which allows me to do this.
We can add these links back and keep new design. No problem.
Yes, please. :-)
You now propose to expand everything on one click and smash a shitload of options into a dummy user's face who just wants to add a CC line. That's a regression and not an optimization to me.
Hey, it's less clicks in the end. Why we can display all options at a time?
In my option it's more confusing if I only want to add a Cc: and instead the screen changes completely and I see many new fields I don't need at all.
Because now we have a scroller, so displaying big area of headers
- options doesn't make the body textarea smaller.
The scroller is a good idea, but still, I have to use it (additional mouse movements, clicks) to see a bigger part of the text.
