The box is also messed up even further in that it is
not updated if the
Email is left up on the screen; the Email has to be reloaded in order to
update the "Now" box with the current date/time of the sender. It also
has a tendency to truncate text if the date string grows too long.
I don't remember exactly when/where this "feature" was introduced, but I
am pretty sure it was either from OpenSUSE or the kdepim enterprise
branch. Someone had half a good idea but didn't implement it correctly.
:-)
I will file a bug report with all observations. I will create a patch for the text string
"Now:" and attach to the bug report. Actually, I think I'll push the patch
to GIT and mention the commit in the bug report. At least the text no longer will mislead
users about the purpose.
I remember the patch from a long time ago when I started using Trinity because the box is
not part of 3.5.10. The patch is from the old Chakra distro, commit d8b40941, 2010-09-07:
