Having upgraded to TB 120.0b5 (64-bit) I noticed there are way too much interlining spaces in Card View > Message List especially in Compact mode.

Three messages take half my 14" laptop screen height ?! See attached...

I would expect each message card to be much more compact to allow more data on screen and reduce scrolling.

Some may like three row per message though in the attached example really not necessary! But other like me may prefer a more compact view on two rows per message which should suffice largely. User should be able to switch easily between those modes (two-lines vs three-line card view) as per recent feedback sent on Topicbox.

If you were to put Subject on the first line and Sender/Recipient on the second, you could put the icon list on the same line as the Sender/Recipient row.

The Card View shall be a bit more flexible in that regard, there are way to reduce the interline space within and between messages...

Should also apply to the GroupBy section when option is enabled, those would not need space line before and after...

Space is deliberate as it is going to contain alot more icons in the new design.

In TopicBox, I did ask for new design to include a means of choosing a 'simplified' version of display over two lines which looks similar to what was used in a pre beta 120* design as not everyone will want a cluttered multicoloured view with load of icons.
