Commit 979f1e669c16 purports to make the sort prompt look better.
Unfortunately it does the opposite, because the new prompt is more than 80
characters wide while the old prompt was less than 80 chars wide.
The new prompt therefore gets split across two screen lines, and what's
worse, the "linebreak" happens in the middle of a word (in this case
"label" gets cut off after the "l", with the new line starting with
"abel"). Here is what it looks like in an 80 char width terminal:
{{{
Sort
(d)ate/(f)rm/(r)ecv/(s)ubj/t(o)/(t)hread/(u)nsort/si(z)e/s(c)ore/s(p)am/(l)
abel?:
}}}
This is much harder to read than the old version. (My guess is that's why
the old version wasn't like the other prompts to begin with.)
I prefer the old version, but if it absolutely must be longer than 80
chars, then at least the "(l)abel" should start its own screen line. Or
perhaps the opening "Sort" should be its own screen line, with the rest on
the second line and "(t)hread" shortened to "(t)hrd" to make it all fit.
