290987 - Too many attachments: can't read email body

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 223340

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Steven M Payeur]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317)

I subscribe to a mail list, and receive daily digests of the messages.  The
server attaches each email as a seperate attachment.  This results in over 120
attachments.  When the email is opened, the control which lists the attachments
is the only thing that is visible.  There doesn't seem to be a way to view the
message body (other than by viewing the source of the message).  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive a message with 120+ email messages
2. Open the email
3. Try to see the body of the message.

Actual Results:  
There doesn't seem to be a way to view the body of the message:  no scrollbars,
no way to "hide" the attachment list, etc.  I can manage to view about an inch
of the message body if I maximize the email message's window.  Of course, that
still only allows for a verticle inch of message-reading space, which would
disappear if more attachments were present.

Expected Results:  
Allowed for a hiding or resizing of the attachment list (similar to the +/-
toggle of the email headers or the draggability of the preview window border in
Mozilla's email reader).  

This is happening in Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317) on Suse 9.1 Pro and
Win 2000 Pro/Thunderbird version.
