When viewing one message with multiple recipients in the TO

When viewing one message with multiple recipients in the TO or CC field, the user may have to scroll down to see the body of the message, the recipient addresses taking too much space. I propose to make it possible to hide the recipient addresses with CSS as it is currently possible for quoted text. Here's a patch for "imp/lib/MIME/Headers.php" that will replace the addresses by a link if there are more than 20 recipients: --- Headers.php.orig 2005-11-22 16:59:40.549264024 -0500 +++ Headers.php 2005-11-23 15:28:19.416656176 -0500 @@ -212,9 +212,19 @@ $ret = _("Undisclosed Recipients"); } else { /* Build the address line. */ - $ret = '' . implode(', ', $addr_array) .

'' : ' ' + count + ' '); link = document.createElement('A'); link.href = ''; link.className = 'widget'; link.onclick = function() { toggleAddressesBlock(field, count); return false; } link.appendChild(text); var toggle = document.getElementById('at_' + field); if (toggle.firstChild) { toggle.removeChild(toggle.firstChild); } toggle.appendChild(link); } Finally, the following strings will have to be localized: "[Show Addresses -" "recipients]" "[Hide Addresses]" "[Show addresses - %s recipients]"

What timing - this just made it onto my TODO list about a week ago when someone sent me a message with 1100 recipients listed in the To: field. The patches have been committed to HEAD and IMP 4.1. Thanks for the submissions, although we ask that you attach diffs as attachments next time instead of inline.
