Use the expand icon beside a conversation heading to read it across the full screen, then choose Restore to return to the previous inbox layout.\n- When the desktop menu is wider than the available space, move the mouse wheel over it or drag it sideways to reach the remaining links without a visible scrollbar.\n- App settings hide the App section when it has no controls or details to show, and leave space above the Map preferences message below Appearance.\n\n- Opening Reply or Forward for a selected message prepares that message directly without first loading the entire conversation. Recipient suggestions avoid rebuilding the member directory during typing, and saving or sending resumes screen updates after editing.\n\n- Reuse the existing navigation with committee access checks, duplicate suppression and selection of the most specific matching path.\n- Give conversation panels independent URL state and coordinate document scrolling across nested maximised panels.\n- Restrict the landscape phone height rule to devices with a coarse pointer, and handle vertical wheel input within overflowing navigation.\n- Add navigation, responsive layout and nested panel regression checks, and align the mail-client credential sort key type with the shared table control.\n- Reuse unchanged committee-list suggestion tokens and resume composer change detection at save, send and step transitions; cover selected-message reply loading without a full-thread fetch.","contentHtml":"<h1>30-Oct-2026 — improve menus and conversation reading space <a href=\"https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/issues/278\">#278</a></h1>\n<h2><a href=\"https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/actions/runs/40988234188\">build 1026</a> — <a href=\"https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/commit/152e71921715eedcf33a75047b2c449059feb162\">commit 152e719</a></h2>\n<hr>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Committee members can open Inbox directly from the site menu without an administrator adding a link; Inbox is highlighted while reading mail, including links to individual conversations.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p>On smaller laptop screens, Inbox keeps its folder pane and desktop controls.
