I love this tool. Using email is just not possible without conversation view.

I noticed Miramar runs very very slow with this addon. I just bought a new laptop with an i5 processor so my hardware should be able to handle it no problem. Perhaps it is a combination of the alpha release of Miramar as well. Basically when I click to expand an individual message, it lags anywhere from 1-6 seconds. When I click different email threads as well, it takes a long time to switch.

What I really like about this is the one line view of each individual message in a thread where the name is on the left and the message follows with the date at the end on the right. If I might be able to make a suggestion; I like how Facebook threads also condense space and put in a picture at the same time. The white space they have in there also makes it quicker to read messages. It would be great to have that. The key is to be able to word wrap and what not instead of a carriage return.

Great work and I look forward to the next release.
