    Is there any way to reduce the amount of text that is shown for each message in the inbox?   I'd like to limit it to 200 characters or so.   Right not it's showing the entire message most of the time.

    I think it would be more clear that you had to click on the title, if it only showed a portion of the message.

    Thanks

    -Jason

    I achieved this in my theme by extending the ASP.NET "Literal" Control with a version that does the trimming and formatting for me.

    I've got it working on my site and I think it looks much better.

    If anyone wants the code, I can send it to them.

    The deleted message bug kind of took the wind out of my sails as far as trying to get things going on my site so I haven't finished packaging this up yet...

    Anyone who wants it, send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to everyone as soon as I get a chance to package it all up.

    Rather than having people send me PM's, I've just attached the Zipped VS2005 project to this message.

    If you don't have visual studio or don't care to look at the code, I've included the DLL file and simple instructions.

    This is a sample of what the output looks like on my site.
