When the folder pane is too narrow to show the complete folder name, we show
"folder na..." but "fol...ame" would be better. I think there's a CSS setting
for this behavior. 4.5+ also middle-truncates folder names.

I had bhuvan from the mail team check it out, and jglick sent this one to 
me originally. I'll happily back it out if seth objects.

as long as it was ok with jglick, it's ok with me.

thanks for fixing this, andrew.
sounds good to me. thanks all.
Is this a pref setting/option?  I actually preferred it the old way for my mail 
folders because I name my folder pretty uniquely and prefer to see the names 
from start to end rather than have it truncated in the middle.
lchiang - some thoughts:
perhaps you could chat with Jennifer and add that as a feature request.  
You can also stretch your panel out a bit larger so it doesnt overflow.  
I think you could override this with a small change to your user-stylesheet 
in your profile.
