The trouble with the problem you're reporting is that the "Subject" column
isn't going to widen on its own if its content is wider than the allotted
space in the column.

With the older display method we would have at least seen the vertical
dotted lines linking sibling messages together.

What with this and the re-sorting issues upon deleting messages raised by
myself and Richard, I sometimes wonder if the changeover to a GtkTreeView
for the message summary was that good an idea... It may be more pleasing to
the eye under "normal" circumstances and it may be more GTK2-friendly. Its
practicality is, however, debatable.
