Port 1352

I took a support call recently from a user that was suddenly missing the column headers in their Inbox.  My first thought was that something went awry in the "Customize this view" option, but resetting to the defaults didn't resolve the issue.

A quick search at the forum introduced me to the 8.x feature called "narrow mode."  You developer types probably already have this article bookmarked, but for those that don't already know about it...

Turns out that when, for instance, the Inbox view width is reduced below a certain threshold, the columns are prioritized, reduced, and reformatted in a way that the usual column headers don't apply;  thus they are hidden.

"Normal mode" - now you see the Header

"Narrow mode" - now you don't


The squished Inbox view actually looks a lot like Ultralite mode.

I know that this probably isn't news to everyone.  I was just particularly obtuse about this feature until recently.

Post Blog Ponder:
I wonder if this feature were around in '06 and the soccer football soccer pitch were narrowed in the World Cup final if that would have eliminated the headbutt, too.
