Hi

> For some historical context, split-window-sensibly was introduced in 2009 [1] and the (split-window-vertically (/ (window-height) 4)) code in 2012 [2]. The two functions seem pretty interchangeable.

As far as I can see the split-window-sensibly version splits the window into two equal parts, whereas the split-window-vertically version (deliberately) makes the message pane bigger than the thread pane.

I definitely prefer the current version (unsurprising as I chose the split back in 2012), but others may disagree.

Best wishes

Mark
