hey,

First, 0.9 is nice, thanks for that.

I want to ask the list about a thing (2 things actually, since 0.9) that has been bugging me.

ask_for_contacts is loading 10 contacts from index, imho this doesn't make a sane default (it's too low). I've always patched this to 500 on my end - yes, it takes a second or two to load that many contacts from index but this doesn't bug me as much as first looking up the person and then composing to him.

second, since labels-before-subject was integrated, it's hard to follow thread index on small screen. Most of my inbox is tagged with 3 labels, mailing-list could be tagged with up to 5 labels. The problem is especially bad on very small screens (like mobiles with ssh clients).

I'm tempted to submit a patch that enables to tune these behaviors via config. I don't find these hook-worthy as first is just a integer (default must stay reasonably low for people with slower computers) and second only makes sense together with full thread-index line customization (I'm not sure about the performance impact or complexity it might bring).

Anyone else sharing my view or I just keep patching on my end? :)
