Reviews & Comments of Trimless for Google Mail™ chrome extension

This both expands replies and "[Message clipped]". It would be nice to have an option to only automatically expand "[Message clipped]" but not replies.

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."

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.

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.

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.

still works, this should be a default in chrome.

Just what I need.

Amazing. It has fixed a MASSIVE FLAW in gmail that drives me crazy. My question: is there a way to apply on mobile versions of gmail (iOS and Android)? I detest the limit in those apps.

Just works, and stops Google's idiotic behaviour

Sometimes it works but recently it fails more than it works. When it fails the email is completely truncated and I have to turn it off to be able to see the email.

The best thing about this extension is that it eliminates the irritating message, "[Message clipped] View entire message". The worst thing about the extension is that it also expands the entirety of an attached thread. Fortunately, you can just click the scissors at the top to turn the extension on or off immediately. I leave it off, and double-click it (so on and then immediately off) only when I see "View entire message" on the email. If the dev could put in an option to selectively turn on "untrimming" only for Gmail's clipping, and not for the collapsed thread, this extension would be perfect! (Now, if only we could have a similar function for Android's Gmail app :) )

Thank you for making this.

Stopped working again in chrome.

Awesome. I've used Outlook for years and it had bugged me after switching over to Gmail that I couldn't automatically see the trimmed content when I popped out a reply window. Very nice fix. Thanks, Oleg!

I'm using latest version (1.10.4) and it does not work anymore.

Stopped working. Now continously getting the "message clipped" message at the end of many e-mails. Used to work well.

This is an essential app (although it shouldn't be -- gmail should have an option). It took a while to realize that it isn't that it fails to work, it just doesn't work first time with the new forced interface on Gmail. If a message is clipped the first time then refresh the page to see the whole message. Message clipping cost me $100s because of lost coupons and deals. I do concierge shopping and I am an avid Air Miles collector. Retailers almost always put the coupons at the end of the email and Gmail's cost me a lot on Black Friday and Boxing weeks. I thought to take a star off for the refresh-needed bug but there are enough negative reviews from people who haven't figured it out to average it down by a fraction of a star.

It does not working in my latest version of GMail. :(

Worked perfectly until they refreshed gmail, which is over half a year ago, no update received to fix the issue.

I loved this extension, and can't figure out why gmail doesn't offer it as an option. I get multiple emails per week like this, and it is so annoying to get to the bottom, have to click 'view entire message', and then find your place again! Unfortunately, it stopped working with the latest update. ): It looks like this may have been abandoned by the developer, too. I'm switching to classic as long as I can so I can keep this feature.

Doesn't work anymore.

I. Hate. This. "Feature." Thank you for creating this.

Same complaint as others - no longer works with the new Gmail.

it worked great with the old Gmail, but since the 'new' update, it does not seem to function. Time for an update?

doesn't work!

Yes, this works but it makes the trimmed content very pale and you can't see it properly. You have to close Chrome and open it again before it works. Please tell Google to remove this trimmed content button completely as it's very irritating and totally unnecessary

Can we get an update for new GMAIL so I can flip my review to 5 stars? -COPIED FROM PREVIOUS REVIEWER CONLEY CARR

Can we get an update for new GMAIL so I can flip my review to 5 stars?

Doesn't seem to work with the 'new' Gmail interface. I never tried it with the old one.

Edit: Working now after update! Thanks No longer works as of Feb 21, 2018. Installed specifically to prevent clipping of Best Buy daily deals emails. Back to having to view clipped message. Tried removing, restarting chrome and reloading plugin. Tried F5 in the email, still clips

This extension now works again, because the developer is extremely responsive and dedicated to providing a high-quality product. Update to the latest version, refresh Gmail if needed, and it works perfectly. Excellent!

After giving it one star for not working, I've finally found that hitting f5 forces it to work but like Adam, that's a real pain. If it worked consistently it would be a great app

It was very useful, but now no longer works, and I've had to remove it. Wish you'd do a new version that works.

I was tired of not seeing my entire Bookbub deals email unless I clicked the link at the bottom. This lets me view the entire thing with no hassle. Exactly what I wanted.

Used to work great, but has recently stopped working for me. Update needed?

Works as intended, great. Only works if clicking the Reply link in an email, not the reply button or if using the "R" keyboard shortcut to compose a reply. Still an invaluable tool though!

Works perfectly

Perfect

I got this for my housesitters emails that get clipped and it works, I can now see the entire message without having to click and be redirected to a web page. You need to refresh your Gmail for it to work.

Does exactly what it advertises. Love this extension, and upset that Google is not simply making Trimmed Content an option in the Gmail settings.

Does exactly what it advertises. It's awesome.

Works no more trimming :)

Works as expected. Nothing more, nothing less. Excellent.

Works as advertised. Recommended.

Did not work for me. The signature is still trimmed.

Does exactly what I need it to do.

Great pluggin to overcome Google's trimming of emails. Recently, we missed a critical piece of information because an email was trimmed, and the link to expand the email was lost among many other links and blue text in the email. We can't make our customers shorten their emails to us, but this Add-on at least prevents Google from costing us lost business.

Perfect! Thanks for this plugin.

Great extension. Works like a charm. Thanks!

Stop wasting time reading part of a message, then loading the full message, and scrolling through the part you just read. Goodle shoulg give the option of loading the whole message for printing or just the cut off part for reading.

This is the one i was looking for....easy mail reading here on

Fabulous! Now for Inbox?

This extension is a good idea, but ultimately you're only saving two keystrokes with it (excluding initiating the reply): 1. Initiate a reply (press R, or Shift+R for pop-out reply) 2. Press the down arrow (highlights the ellipses that will expand the text) 3. Press Enter (expands the text) 4. Type your reply as normal At any rate, this extension doesn't work consistently. I usually have to refresh the page several times to get it to work, and then it will stop working on occasion for whatever reason.

What I really need is for it to restore clipped messages, but not to expands trimmed parts. Could there be an option to en/disable these individually? Otherwise I'm really happy with it!

Needs but fails to respect the image display settings for the email. I don't need to see images, I need to read text. Add that feature for another star. Also fails to respect AdBlock Plus, losing another star.

If it did what it was supposed to do, it would be perfect.

Solves an issue that Gmail has had for years, which requires clicking on the Show Trimmed Content button on each message in conversation mode. With a conversation with messages identical except for embedded jpgs, Trimless makes it possible to review them quickly by expanding them all simultaneously. Gmail otherwise would force you to expand each one individually, tediously.

Such a simple extension, but does exactly what it's supposed to. With every great extension like this, I find myself actually hating Gmail less.

Does not work. Best Buy daily deals emails are often clipped, because the emails sometimes contain more entries than Gmail thinks we should see at once. I must open the ad in a new tab to see it all. I installed this extension for this reason alone and it does not work.

makes email super slow and freeze

Awesome! It annoys me when google mail trims text and trimless brings back a little of my sanity.

Thank you very much for adding this feature.

Outstanding and much needed! Don't forget to restart your Gmail tabs/windows after installing, and be patient with the first couple of windows as the script seems to take a moment to load and "untrim" your messages. After that, though, your messages will be trimless almost immediately. Many thanks to Olegs Jeremejevs for designing this script. Be sure to click on the details tab and send him a donation for his work. Or hire him. (Google could certainly use him.)
