Yes, and that's working fine, for the most part (see attached  
screenshot: note.gif).

Personal preference, but regardless of how, collapse works too. See  
note-collapsed.gif.

As you can see from the screenshot, the collapsed note contains a  
summary of its contents, obtained until now with this:

NPNote>>updateSummaryLabel
	self contents ifNotNil:
			[(self summaryMorph)
				contents: (self contents asString withSeparatorsCompacted
							contractTo: (32 min: self contents size "NEED TO CHANGE THIS  
CODE"))]

What I would want to do instead is be able to get the maximum string  
length that my summary can be set to without triggering a resize of  
the title bar, hence the note. Right now, if I widen my note (via the  
halo), my summary does not fill the title bar, i.e., note-collapsed- 
wide.gif:

I am not sure if this is clear enough. Also, I hope the size of this  
email (20K) doesn't cause too much trouble.

Thanks
