// @name Work Gmail multi-line email list
// @description Makes sure that the new (late 2018) Gmail interface always shows the three-line previews of email lists (mainly for split-pane mode).
// The new Gmail behaviour changes this to one-line when the list pane is wide enough (but not wide enough for my liking).
// @author Lucas Costi
// @namespace https://lucascosti.com
//// The scope below only matches the second Gmail account (which is always my work one).
// @match https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/*
