RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 223340

Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050111 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050111 Firefox/1.0

When viewing a message with a lot of attachments (such as a forwarded web page),
the message pane becomes too small as the attachments list grows to show all
attachments and occupies most of the screen. It is then very difficult to read
the message as only one or two lines appear at the same time and you have to
scroll a lot.

Solution would be to put scrolling on attachment list and limit it to 4 lines of
text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Send a message with 50+ attachments and one page of text to yourself
2.View the message in Thunderbird (and compare with Outlook for example)


Actual Results:  
The attachments area covered most of the screen and only 4 lines of text message
would appear at the same time

Expected Results:  
the attachments area should be limited to 4 line of text and message area should
cover most of the screen
AND/OR
attachment area/message area should be resizable
Version: unspecified → 1.0

I don't think this is a duplicate of 223132.

I believe that bug 223132 is for the headers area on top of the e-mail panel.

This bug is for the attachments area at the bottom of the e-mail panel.
