241527 - header display when 'view all headers' selected is not impressive

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 9942

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[J Vender]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040421

Mozilla is already into 1.7rc1, and the header display in mozilla messenger when
"view all headers" is selected is the worst I've seen in any mail software. The
header view expands downward so far that the mail body is forced completely off
the screen and unviewable.

The headers should be included in the same window as the mail body and
scrollable using the same scrollbars, not as a seperate window. That's how they
were displayed in Netscape 4.x, and every other client that I've seen.  There
isn't even an obvious option to shrink the header region down to a small,
scrollable region so the body isn't forced off the bottom of the screen. The way
mozilla displays all the headers is amatuerish, and way too long lived. It needs
to be fixed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select Headers, View All
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
My mail body window was forced off the bottom of the screen.

Expected Results:  
The entire header list should become part of the same window as the mail body,
same way that Netscape 4.x did it. The entire email-headers, body and all-should
be viewable in same window and scrollable by same scrollbars.
