Subject: [sup-talk] Display size of message or attachments?

Hey Sup'ers
Is there a way to display the total size of the message in your inbox?
(Including attachments). I wasn't able to find a way (other than saving
everything and doing it manually).

On the same note, is there a way I can see how big an attachment is on an
email? I know it shows up when sending email, but not on a retrieved email.

Thanks,
Lee

This wouldn't be too hard but I'm not sure what the right UI would be.
Suggestions, anyone?

I've added this in git.

What does the 213k refer to? The first message in this thread? The
newest message? All messages together? If you want per-message sizes,
it's going to have to go somewhere in thread-view-mode, methinks...

Long time reader; first time poster. Massive thanks to everyone who's 
worked on sup (in particular to William). I'm dabbling in sup again now 
with the release of 0.7, which hasn't crashed on me at all so far, hooray!

> it's going to have to go somewhere in thread-view-mode, methinks...

Sounds like a potentially neat feature. I'd suggest:

   - When viewing lists of threads (inbox-mode, search-results-mode, 
etc), the combined size of all messages together in the thread.

   - When viewing a particular thread (thread-view-mode), showing 
individually for each message.

Alternatively (or in addition?), perhaps even better would be the 
ability to do searches like size:>200k, which would show all messages 
(or all threads?) over 200k in size.

This would be useful for people like me who prune excessively large 
attachments from disk occasionally. (Which at present is a little 
fiddly, involving messing with the Maildir-stored messages then 
sup-sync'ing, but that's another story...)

Cheers,
