191238 - email name extension and email address should be wrapable

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 91662

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Gunnar Kaestle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030125

In the three parted mail display window, the one with the mail body inside
automatically widens, if there is not enough place for the attachment box, the
icons for encrypting and signing, and the line for the to/cc email addresses.
I find it quite annoying, as the folder tree on the left is crushed and becomes
unreadable. 

To expand the maneuvering space of the mail window rendering, I'd prefer the
option of wrapping the email between the address and the email description, e.g.
'Gunnar Kaestle'|wrap here|<[e-mail]>. This would cause the header
bar having one or two lines more, but

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla
2. Open Mail&News window
3. Write test email to yourself, add attachment, sign digitally, 
   and use long recipient address 
("Your Name with silly letter extensions <[e-mail]>")
4. Read incoming selfwritten email


Actual Results:  
lower left window resizes automatically

Expected Results:  
threshold value for resizing should be higher by allowing wrap between email
description and email address

Note that this bug's duplicate has many, many responses and not a few arguments; 
it's very tedious to read it.
