I addressed the issue of the composition window about
2 months ago.  Basically, my concern was not about making
the product look like Outlook (why would you want to
do that; among other things outlook makes it difficult
to send a "bcc" email and thus novice users can't find
the "bcc" option).

The bug I reported is here:

Font for Entering Email Addresses is Too Small bug 214766

To sum up, my email focuses on some accessibility
concerns; and also a "power user" concern.  The work
that I do involves teaching nonprofits how to send out
email to large lists, and the Thunderbird user interface
now uses too much screen real estate with the separate
"reply-to" address, and is kind of cumbersome if you
want to put in large numbers of email addresses in the "cc"
or "bcc" line.

Perhaps the two bugs should be merged and the title should
be renamed "Mail Compose Window Needs a Facelift" or something
like that.
