  • austingovella Austin Govella (@austingovella) reported

    Dear @Microsoft @Outlook , I need to scan my inbox by thread title, not by who's on the to: line. Can you fix type hierarchy, so it's easier to scan? Bonus type trick: If you differentiate two pieces of text well enough, you actually enable the user to scan by either. 😵
