Child Item Pane: multi-line entries showing also first lines of content

I would really appreciate if there would be a better way to get an idea of the item's content residing inside a folder. Outlook e. g. uses list items having 2 lines to show more information (see attached Outlook11PreviewPanel.jpg).

I know, one can configure the child item pane to show the Item Text attribute, but it's a column of a 1 line record only. Also I found out, that UR raises a popup showing more of the content when mouse gets over the Item Text column - really fancy feature!

But does not come up to see the first few content lines of all items at a glance.

Will there ever be a chance to see a child item pane showing also the first few lines (configurable?) of the content per item below the currently shown columns?

you could set "wrap long cell text" in the settings, but that would probably not be very nice.

ps:
I don't use outlook, but seems that it also shows only the first line, and not 2 as you mention ;-)

Wow - that's (almost) what I need.

Attached an sample urd to explain what I meant previously. There you can see that when an wrapped item text column is shown in the child item pane this leads into a lot of unused space at the columns having less informational content.

The outlook snapshot from above shows that they use a list control where list items show attributes on more than one line (e. g. the marked item in the inbox folder from above shows the sender "Jensen Harris", a date/time and below the subject which spans the whole second line).

So maybe Kinook could think over enriching the child item list in a similar manner.

Apart from that the wrapped item text column in my attached sample urd shows additionally a need for some minor improvements concerning item text of non-text items:

(1) special characters/formats result in a visually irritating boxed character - simply replace by an space(?)
(2) remove starting line feeds until the first line containing information
(3) trim multiple line feeds to a single one

Maybe there is chance to get the non-text item-text improvements implemented?
