See attached - 1 example of a subject/arrival collision and 1 example  
of a flags/from collision.  These aren't manufactured/rare examples  
either - they were both in my INBOX.  And this is on a browser with a  
viewport width of 1164 pixels.

We have had grid lines in IMP for forever, presumably for this exact reason.

FYI - the couple of desktop MUA's I looked at (thunderbird, evolution)  
use row shading and ellipses.  As previously mentioned, ellipses is  
not really an option because none of the workarounds for  
text-overflow: ellipsis are realistic for this use case (the  
workarounds for lacking either require boatloads of javascript,  
specific HTML structure, browser-specific hacks, or document-wide  
stylesheet settings).  This is the rare case where IE is better than  
all of the other browsers.
