When adding new addressee lines in a new message compose window if you hit Enter
after the third address line it does indeed add a new/4th line, but you must use
the scroll bar to see it.  It should automatically take you there and show that
new line in the addressee block without having to manually scroll.

1.  From mail window, New Message.
2.  Enter an address on the first to: line then press Enter.  Continue to do
this for more than 3 lines.
3.  Upon hitting Enter from the end of the 3rd line, it appears you cannot enter
any more.  No new lines appear to you.
4.  Use the scrollbar in the addressee block to go downward and you'll see the
4th (and more if you entered them) line is really there.

putterman, could that problem (not scrolling to the newly added address field)
be the same as the "Next Message" scrolling problem?

it could be if we're using ensureelementisvisible.

From David Hyatt 2000-06-14 17:42:
ensureElementIsVisible was broken in the old tree in order to make it work in 
the new tree.

From [e-mail] 2000-06-14 17:43:
Yes, the addressing widget use ensureElementIsVisible.

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Adding relnote keyword.  But hey, tree landing will 
probably fix this one.
