223309 - message pane resizes/flashes if too small

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 188138

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

While viewing email with the three-pane window, if the right panes are too small
then switching between messages with attachments and without causes a weird
resize.  On new computers this seems to be flashing, since it goes through
multiple sizes.  Several of my users that use 800x600 have to switch to
2 pane mail browsing to avoid this problem. [I think they have larger than
normal fonts as well]

This may be related to bug 216669[thunderbird] but I can't duplicate it in .3
thunderbird.  Thunderbird .3 appears to handle this with a scroll-bar.

Tested in Moz1.3-1.5 detailed description from 1.5



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open mail on a system with a mixure of messages with/without attachments
2. shrink right panes until its only an inch or two wide
3. click on several messages with and without attachments, withing viewing 5 or
so the flashing should be obvious

Actual Results:  
I saw the resize

Expected Results:  
provide a scroll-bar similar to thunderbird .3

default theme
