233208 - RFE: message header display should scroll

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 151831

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[John T]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Whether the header is a separate box or window, or shown as part of the main
message like Netscape 3.x and 4x used to do (I liked that), header displays
should scroll so the entire set of header info can be displayed. Some messages
have so many lines of header info that they extend below the bottom of the
Mozilla window and cannot be displayed, even by minimizing parts of the menu at
the top of the screen. There's no right-side-of-screen slider widget to scroll
the header. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the view menu's header selection to "all"
2. Display a message with a lot of header information
3. Click on the + to show the header info
Actual Results:  
The display of header information extends below the bottom of the Mozilla mail
window and is unavailable in the normal display. It shows in the message source,
but that shouldn't be necessary.

Expected Results:  
A scroll and slider widget should be created if the header extends beyond the
viewable window area for the header info.

This is a very old complaint, and not one likely to be addressed anytime soon.

See bug 41994, bug 9942, bug 56825; also bug 91662, for the same basic problem 
in the horizontal direction.
