Here is the email wizard prior to
distro:0ace70b503b2 and then after that checkin. Before the checkin, the important elements fit on a single 1024x768 page. after that commit they are spread across 4 pages. A lot of the fields are self explanatory, and having the submit button and the important entry fields "within reach" on a single page is more important for usability than expanding lots of text.
Maybe if the text could be limited to an
occasional important first line, with the button to expand the rest.
