[bugzillaonly]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

If e-mail has numerous attachments,
display list of attachments dominates/overwhelms the message-viewing-pane.
(Please see attached screen shot file: ThunderbirdAttachmentDisplayBug01.tif
 for an example.)
Suggest that display list of attachments be separated into its own
 independently size-adjustable viewing pane placed under the message 
 viewing pane ( at least for the Classic View Layout ).
Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.5.0.7 (20060909) for Microsoft Windows XP;
running on Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 2;
Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz with 1.00 GB of RAM

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Microsoft Internet Explorer to send yourself a web page from a website that generates numerous attachments (e.g., the Wall Street Journal online)
2. Open the e-mail in Thunderbird
3.

Actual Results:  
You will see the message display pane overwhelmed with the attachments listing

Expected Results:  
Placed the attachments listing in a separate size-adjustable pane.

Thank you.
