It doesn't look unbalanced at all to me.

The new method uses a defined-width table for the message. It stays the same width no matter what the browser window size. It is now unbalanced on a 640-wide screen in this way.

The balance noted below is maintained using the old method even when the browser window is resized. It is created with the new method only if the browser is sized to about 800 pixels wide.


Original beta New width
Space right: 3/4 " 1/4 "
Space left 3/4 " 1/4 "
Space top(1) 3/4 " 3/4 "
Space bottom(2) 3/4 " 3/4 "


(1) Space top is measured from the "Reply #" box to the first line of text. 1/4 from the "From" line to the first line.
(2) This spacing varies, but this is the most common spacing when the message editor inserts just a single blank line.
