Hi, having just subscribed I don't know if this issue has been addressed.

My ISP provides IMP access, but I find the mailbox interface gives me eye
fatigue. I wrote a greasmonkey script to alleaviate some of this. It can be
found at:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/4292

The description is:
Enhance highlighting in IMP mail reader. IMP (maybe v2.2.7) uses nasty little
check boxes to mark actions on messages. When you visually scan a mailbox, IMP
is hard to use because your eyes constantly have to jump between the check box
column and the subject column. This script 1) colors the subject lavender when
the mouse is inside the checkbox, and 2) colors the subject yellow if its box
has been checked. Most eye jitter problems are solved.

I think my ISP may be using v2.2.7. Has the mailbox interface improved beyond
that point? Does this script work in the current version? and if not what has
to be changed?

Thanks - Rod McGuie
