Hi pazz,

building on my aligned thread view, I hacked together a *really* sweet solution to the problem of arrows of children beginning nowhere/in the text of their parents.

Looks like this:

Dude, looks like totally awesome....
```

So iff there is a child, replace the newly introduced space (to align the unfolded parts to the summary line) with a vertical bar. Looks suuper slick! Only thing: I cannot knowz whether the MessageWidget that I'm currently indenting has another child. Can you pleaz explainz? ;)

Merry Christmas
