I like the reactions implementation! Nice!!

I also like the highlighting for unread messages that doesn't disappear until you refresh. I find myself more frequently using full view, and switching in and out more often.

In full view I'd like the message number to link to the classic view single message view. That way, if I looked at the message in single view, the link would show as read as long as it's in my local cache, the same in both full view and classic list view. And, I could easily get to that single message from full view if I want.

I'd also like to see re: deleted messages and/or the user that wrote the message that is being replied to in full view, as I'm used to seeing that in Classic View, and it enhances context. Today I read a message that didn't make sense until I switched to classic and saw it was a reply to a deleted message. And, I might not recall the message subject context without knowing who wrote it. I know that I can click to see the thread, but clicks are sometimes slower than my associative memory. I do really like the "re:" subject link that shows in full view. That is definitely better than just the number in classic view!

I've had some ideas but no time to share. And I see you implementing them anyway. Great minds...

The way I'm using it, I don't see it as classic view or full view, I'm switching back and forth. So my focus is ease of getting to each of the other visual assets from wherever I happen to be. It's blended: Classic View AND Full View. You're not taking anything away, you're adding to the experience. For example, in classic view single message or Next X, why not be able to pop up the thread for any given message if you want. You've already done the work, so that might be low hanging fruit.

Good work! Thank you!!
