Scrollbar off screen in message list when Subject and Sender fields too wide.

The right edge of the Sender field is offscreen so I can't resize it. And the scrollbar is missing - I presume it's disappeared away off to the right somewhere.

Even maximising the window is not sufficient to bring these things back into view.

Only seems to happen with one particular folder.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a message list (folder view) set up somehow with really wide Subject and Sender fields
2. Look for scrollbar on the right of the message list
3. Notice how it isn't there

Actual Results:  
There is no scrollbar, so you can't scroll the message list up and down.

Expected Results:  
There should be a scrollbar.

I don't know how the view settings for this particular folder got into the state where the fields were so wide.

There should be a scrollbar on the right of the window. There isn't.
