Conversation View: Lotus Notes 8

In response to my post about conversation view, Carl Tyler provided screenshots of Notes 8 and how it organizes messages in conversations.

Below is an opened conversation. Notice how the subject field in the replies contains the first line of the message body. This provides additional context to the e-mail conversation.

This next screenshot shows the mouse hovering over a message and and a pop-up displaying more of the first line. This looks like an effective way to scan an entire conversation.

These screenshots of Lotus Notes 8 are great examples of how conversation view can make a big difference in managing e-mail. Thanks Carl!

Larry,

Another feature of Lotus Notes 8.x conversation view is the 'number of messages in a thread' meter. In your Inbox, prior to opening a thread of messages, you can see next to the subject line the number of messages this thread has. That enables you to understand how many responses/messages are in that thread, even before opening it.

If you'd like, I can send you a screenshot.
