When I make a new entry I get an email with 

   subject: New ELOG entry

But when I or someone else changes an entry I also get an email with a 

   subject: New ELOG entry

I would prefer to see "Changed" , "Edited", or "Updated". This is beyond my 
programming capabilities so I enter this request.

If the wrap=soft is used, users tend to enter very long lines (without 
hitting return in between). If this line then gets displayed, it can be very 
wide and the user has to horizontally scroll the browser window. What I can 
do is in the display (not the entry) to concatenate URLs which are separated 
only by a CR/LF. But you then have some cases where you have an URL to the 
end of the line, then some other text starting on the next line, which then 
get concatenated falsely (unless you use some clever code which scans 
for ".html" or "xxx/xxx" or something like that.

You always had the option "Message width = xx" to change the width on the 
text box, and I added in V 2.2.2 the parameter "Message height = xx" where 
you can change the 20 to something else.

I have implemented this feature in V2.2.2.

In the "find" command, when searching over all logbooks, it
would be nice to see ALL attributes, which are common for all
logbooks (e.g. typically the author name), not just
logbook name, date and text.

That depends on how you specify what gets displayed in a search (with 
the "Display search" option for example). If you try the following link:

http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/?mode=summary&all=1

you see that all attributes are displayed from the three logbooks in this 
installation.

unless i missed these in the docs some place:

1) a threaded display but collapsed threads unstead of all replies showing

2) the subject is the link along with the icon. it would make it a little   easier to click on the message if you run your montior on a high resolution...

This feature has been added in Version 2.2.4 which has been released today. 
Use the "collase" button.

This feature has been added in Version 2.2.4 as well. Use "line as link = 1" 
in elogd.cfg
