I just noticed that bugzilla notifications which have really long subject lines
are forcing a vertical scrollbar for the combined msg/header area as well as for
the message body.

Alecf sez there's a CSS way to get the text in the header area to wrap or
truncate rather than forcing a scroll bar.

This is a duplicate of 18407. I'll mark it as a dup since that one is
assigned to me. =)

This totally sucks, I would appreciate any fix :-)
Remember, laptop people cannot resize the window, that
is the case for me at home.

Build 1999120108M12: Win32/NT4, Linux/Redhat 6.0, Mac 8.5.1

FYI: I noticed with todays build that I don't see the double vertical scrollbars
as in the 11/10 build. I see a horizontal scrollbar on the bottom of the message
body but initially no vertical scrollbar appears. Move the horizontal scrollbar
to the right and a vertical scrollbar appears for the message body only (not the
header). Very cumbersome to read messages this way.

Hi Scott,
Since we are changing the message display approach, I'll pass this over to you.
It's pretty much a style sheet issue, and I've tried fixing it a few times,
with no luck.

double scrollbar continues to suck for laptop users,
that would be me. :(

I just landed the new message display stuff tonight. As part of these changes,
hangas and I have added wrapping for all of the message fields.

i.e. for long subject, to, cc headers you should see all of these properly wrap
as you shrink the screen.

Please test all three of these when verifying this bug.
