Kalle Anka (ID: 000000a352f9e43c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/18/2022 This both expands replies and "Message clipped". It would be nice to have an option to only automatically expand "Message clipped" but not replies.

icon

Tristan Ledlie (ID: 000000e5fa79561c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/06/2022 It does what it says, with only the permissions it needs. You do need to go into the extension settings and disable indenting and color override for trimmed content in order for it to look "normal."

icon

Phil Sowers (ID: 000000b67014bfb9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/13/2022 Doesn't seem to be working 100% in 2022, but when it does it's great. The only downsides are it doesn't always expand the messages, and i think it expands conversation threads automatically as well which could be an issue for some people.

Mark Palmos (ID: 0000001029c96f44) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/08/2022 Does not work at all. I enter R to reply or Shift-R to reply as a pop-out, and the trimmed content is still trimmed.... so this addon does not do it's job.

Memz (ID: 000000f6d0ef95fd) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/22/2021 It only automatically presses the "Untrim content" button from the email. It doesn't hide all of the content which makes it hard to use.
