Re: [Mailman-Developers] [Bug 1004049] [NEW] Held messages show display message body

How do you think that this should work?
Should we always display at least a part of the message as a part of the list? Or should we display only the subject and have a linkage to the body of the message, perhaps as a pop up window?

The Held Messages page on Postorius only shows the subject line of the messages. It seems like the body of the message will also be important for reviewing the held message.

I would recommend displaying only the subject line like you are now and having a button that displays the body in a pop-up modal.
Thanks

I think that an option to display the first n < 5 or so unquoted lines of the body would be useful. Perhaps with a checkbox to toggle that option on the displayed page. Perhaps per thread. Keep it simple, though.

Sorry, ignore the "perhaps per thread" comment on my last. I was answering a different question.
I think that, if there's only one message, then display the body. If there are fewer than, say, five, then display a few lines of the body. With more than that, display only the subject line. But, for each message, it should be quick to pop up a few lines of the message body. Perhaps a disclosure triangle, or something.
