I am getting some user feedback in office environments about the way TB displays the recipients in the compose window. TB filling in each line only one address leads to a long list vertically which is out of the viewable area and needs quite some scrolling to manually check if one has entered all recipients. That applies also when one wants to have a quick check if all people are entered via a mailing list. The customer prefer the horizontal display of other email clients more where email addresses are displayed in a row separated by a comma. That way mailing list can be checked and easily temporarily modified not touching the original meiling list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter several email addresses into the address fields in the compose window
2. see details for details :-)

Actual Results:
