47422 - Scroll message headers with the message, like in 4.x

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 9942

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Jim Berwick]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.74 [en] (Win98; U)
BuildID:    20000073120

The way newsgroup headers are shown is horrible.  The old way that Netscape did 
it (showing the message headers in the same window as the body) was great.  
Having this separate "window" for the headers makes reading news very very 
difficult.  I have to either minimize the header "window", which makes it hard 
to see who is writing about what, what it's in reference to, where the spam came 
from, etc.  And if I leave the header window open, I have an inch of space for 
the actual message.  I'd like to see this changed, because as it is I can not 
read news from within Mozilla, it takes 3 times as long for me to read the same 
amount of messages like this

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open mail

Actual Results:  N/A							

Expected Results:  The old way of showing headers and message bodies in the same 
window pane

moving to future milestone and reassigning to mscott. this is probably a dup 
anyway.

Comment 3

[basic]

Should the summary be changed to: "Message header display like in NS4" ... or
"Display message header in body not in a 'box'"?

BTW: I hate to suggest yet another pref option, but it would seem that Mozilla
Mail and News needs more than one way to display message header info.

Of which bug is this a dup?

Changing SUMMARY.

Note: I like the current way. I see it as similar to window titles. Maybe that's
because I use the standalone msg window, which isn't as space-limited as the 3 pane.

Debogosifying summary. (`Scolling'? `Msg'? No wonder I couldn't find it.)

Comment 7

[Peter Trudelle]

With View->Headers->All, this pane takes up more space than the average message.
Given that vertical screen real estate is at a premium, which is more important,
the header or the message?  I think this is a defect, not an enhancement, and an
old one at that.  resolving as dup of 9942
