Disable Opera Mail Panel when Reading Feeds

Opera 11.10 & above

Disable Auto Mail Panel Toggle.

Opera 11.00 & 11.01

From version 11, Opera shows mail panel when reading feeds and several users don't like this. Mail panel can be disabled by modifying read feeds menu item action code as shown below.

If you don't know how to edit menu setup, see this. Under [Browser Feeds Menu] section, change the following line 

Item, M_FEEDS_MENU_READ = Read mail, "rss",,,"Mail Newsfeeds"
to 
Item, M_FEEDS_MENU_READ = Read mail, "rss",,,"Mail Newsfeeds" & Set alignment, "hotlist", 0

What is your panel placement?

Tamil: your change only helps when you always read your feeds together, not when you use the menu to pick individual feeds. I'd say picking individual feeds from the menu is a pretty inefficient way to do it (hence that panel...), but apparently opinions are divided smile

Anyway, there will be an opera:config option later to prevent the auto-switching of the mail panel.

Mine was: Item, M_FEEDS_MENU_READ = Read mail, "rss",,,"Mail Newsfeeds"" so i've changed it to: Item, M_FEEDS_MENU_READ = Read mail, "rss",,,"Mail Newsfeeds" & Set alignment, "hotlist", 0" (notice the " at the very end) and now it works flawlessly!
