User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070208 Mandriva/2.0.0.2-1mdv2007.1 (2007.1) Firefox/2.0.0.2 Build Identifier: version 2 beta 2 (20070215) When I receive an email with many jpgs attached (tens of pictures), the space where the email is displayed is shared half by the frame with the attachments names and half by the frame where the message is shown (aka the inline pictures). I asked a lot of people and all are deranged by this. In most cases the attachments names are something like 125436.jpg, that I don't care about. Mostly I'll want to have more space to see the actual message. I want to request an improvement in this area. Maybe a scrollbar could be added on the frame showing the attachments names and restrict the space where attachments names are shown to only 3 rows. 3 rows are enough for 9 attachments which is enough for normal emails. When the emails have less or equal than 3 rows of attachments the scrollbar will not appear. I put 2 screenshots here to better explain what I mean: http://picasaweb.google.com/lbinic/ThunderbirdFeatureRequest Thank you. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive an email with 30 jpgs attached. About half of the space where the message is displayed is obstructed by the .jpgs names. 2. Repeat with 60 jpgs attached. The message display is obstructed even you double click on it. 3. Expected Results: Limit the space where the attachments names are displayed to 3 rows. Add a scrollbar on the frame where the attachments names are displayed when more than 3 rows of names need to be displayed.
Already fixed in a later version, in bug 223340. One of the improvements is that there's a scrollbar.
