User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6

If I want to see header (button + left on the subject) for a message in detail view mode message (under list mode), there is no scroll bar to see those header's detail and those cover the status bar.
To see all the header, 	I must enlarge my window (up to the list mode), which is not possible on all screens and all the window sizes.
We need a scrollbar

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select a message in the list of message
2. select button + left on subject in the message view
3. if the window for the view mode is small, the header cover status bar
Actual Results:  
the header cover status bar and I can't see all the header

Expected Results:  
We need a scrollbar for the scroll bar

there are maybe two bugs and a need

* 1st bug is "you can't see all the headers" and need is scroll bar.. thank's to have seen the duplicate bug 223132... I've searched and not found
* 2nd bug is "the panel cover the status bar"

since 2003, no fix for the first bug befire now ? curious ?

the second bug seems more pernicious because it shows that there is a malfunction in the windowing system... how is it possible that the message window covers the status bar ?

Both of your bugs have been fixed by bug 223132 or other bugs - they were fixed in Thunderbird 3 beta 1 - a preview release see http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/early_releases/ for how to give it a try

Many bugs haven't been fixed straight away for various reasons.

That's just to do with how the message pane was set up - the window system is doing what it is told.

Re-marking as duplicate as this is a duplicate of that bug.
