[Ruturaj]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

In a scenario when there are many attachments,
the attachment list becomes too large and then the main space where the mail is
displayed is reduced to almost unreadable size.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Mail an attachment in a email
2.Forward that mail as an attachment..
3. Forward the above mail as an attachment...
4. repeat the process till you get atleast 30 attachments....

Actual Results:  
the actual space where the message is displayed is reduced to a size where the
message can't be read

Expected Results:  
it should be like the mozilla appication suite's message window, it
automatically creates a scroll bar and restricts the spaces that the attachment
list uses.
