I just received the first message in the new design. The plain text variant looks quite different: It’s longer, harder to read IMO and apparently breaks URLs due forced line breaks. It also seems to fill each line with extra spaces which can further distort the text.

I also noticed some other changes, like the `From` header always saying “MusicBrainz Server” rather than the username. And not using `Sender` anymore.

Now one will have to search the entire subject to find and sort messages by a certain user.

BTW, it’s first telling that I may reply (the user has actually shared their email address) and then that I should not reply to this message
