StampedEmailArea

The StampedEmailArea is a block that appears in the DetailView. Below is an obsolete wireframe that shows the StampedEmailArea identified in red:

Shows the original mail message that generated the item. This is an expandable block. In contracted form it just shows a single line displaying the word "received" followed by the date the email was sent, and a triangle expansion control. In expanded form it contains two outlined blocks, one containing the MailHeader and one containing the MailBody.

The MailBody is just a static text block containing the body of the message. The MailHeader contains lines displaying "from", "subject", "date" and "to". When the StampedEmailArea is contracted the body of the message is displayed in the NotesArea^?. When the StampedEmailArea is expanded it shows some information normally displayed elsewhere, so those items hide: The TitleBlock of the CoreArea, and the whole FromAndToArea.

Questions:

• Does the FromAndToArea go away when the StampedEmailArea20041019 is expanded? Does the TitleBlock of the CoreArea also go away?
• I thought you could add notes to emails, but I guess not, since the body shows up in the NotesArea, right?
• Does the expanded/contracted state stick with the DetailView or stick with the ContentItem when switching between items? Default is contracted?
