Size(KB) makes more sense to me.

yes, it would be nice.  Where do you think that interface should go?  A 
right-click on the header would be inconsistent with what is already in the 
UI.  One menu which makes good sense to me is under _F_older, make a submenu 
which is _M_essage size, and have the bits/bytes/lines/sentences option 
there.

Well, realize that this is probably too late to get into the next release, 
with a freeze on and all.

Also, if you want anyone to remember this beyond next week, it would be wise 
to file a wishlist bug report.  :-)
