157291 - [FRE] resize header/pane containing attachments when receiving many attachments

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, enhancement)

Description

[resigned]

When viewing an email in the bottom-right pane,  the "attachments" box only
lists four lines of attachments.

There *is* a scrollbar, but I regularly (every day) receive digests of mailing
lists with upwards of 20 emails attached to one email. Trying to fiddle with the
minute scroll-control on that scrollbar becomes extremely tricky with so many
attachments.

1) I could solve this easily by being able to resize the mini-panel which
contains the "subject + from + reply-to + Date + To" fields on the left, and the
"attachments"  box on the right.

For Thunderbird 1.5, there is no scrollbar to resize this. I cannot view the list of emails and the message in the same window because the digest's attachment box is too large.

In TB3.0b2 you can resize the pane containing the attachment. Reporter dos that solves your issue ?

Closing worksforme, no reply from reporter.
Attachment pane is resizable in TB 3's current nightlies. The only thing you can't resize is the header pane, which needs a separate bug.
To make attachment pane movable is bug 304697.
