Mail needs title tips for items that are cropped in the thread pane.
For example, currently, long message subjects in the thread pane are cropped at
the end (using "..."). Depending on the number of column heads displayed in the
thread pane, the message subject can be quite short, and the cropped portion is
not enough for the user to determine the subject of the message.
A title tip that displayed the full subject of the message would help a great
deal.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Mail
2. Select a message from the inbox that has a long subject and is cropped (e.g.,
"This message has a very long subj...")
3. Mouse over the subject
Expected result: Title tip displays the full subject of the message
Actual result: No title tip

Well, I talked to hyatt and it looks like we aren't going to get this. One
possibility as we talked about is to use tooltips for all subjects regardless of
whether or not they are cropped.
I mentioned this to some other people and they groaned. Anyway nominating
nsbeta3 polish unless we decide to just skip this and let column resizing (which
I think we will get) allow people to see their subjects.
I'll add my groan -- "groan".
Anyway, I think tooltips are a better workaround then column resizing. While the
flashing (as I mouse over threads) would be annoying, I still think this would
be preferable to column resizing every time I want to read a long subject.
Reassign to myself per email with scottip.
