The header of the email message area is a fixed pane that cannot be toggled on/off, making the classic view rather unwieldy. Considering the mail headers aren't required information that need to be seen all the time while reading a message, I think they should be just placed as a header above the message that disappears when you scroll the message down. An example of what I mean would be Liferea's 'Normal view', and Evolution's normal view as well.

Reproducible: Always

This bug is primarily asking for the headers to scroll with the message, which is still pending and handled in bug 464309 - reduping.
