Hi Jan,

I'm glad that I am not the only one.  I've been trying to get used to 
it but in addition to what you noted, I have found it very distracting 
and has reduced my email scanning proficiency by a factor of 2 or more. 
  Especially since I use 1000 chars to allow the reading of the 
majority of my mails without having to open them. If this isn't going 
to be changed back to the way it was could there be a preference option 
for disabling the fade?

Thanks,

ed
