ok, lets try it here... i got errors when trying to reply to this
message, or when trying to post a new message on the new app.

My suggestion on the new app is to try to get the subject wider.
maybe wrap the date and narrow down some of the other columns so the
subjects don't wrap as much. having them scrunched up like they are
now makes them hard to read and means more scrolling to view the page.
