User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090831 Shiretoko/3.5.3 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5pre) Gecko/20091012 Shredder/3.0pre The headers on top of the message pane don't handle edge (or even not-far-from-middle) cases well at all. Long email addresses easily make it so the "more" button is entirely buried, and you cannot see people's email addresses, or find out that a message was to: more than one person. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send email from "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum" <yourusername@domain.tld> 2. to: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum" <alice@bob.org>, <yourusername@domain.tld>, <yvonne@zed.org> 3. Click the mail when you receive it Actual Results: The from: line buries the email address. Worse, the To: line gives no indication that there is more than one email address. "more" is buried. Expected Results: Automatic line wrapping to handle these situations, or scrolling, or a 'more' button on the left (perhaps like the old +) that will wrap the text and make the header subpane grow to accommodate. While the example given is exaggerated, I find that this is occurring frequently with normal "Joe M Businessman <joe.business@company.tld>" length email addresses. Two of those on a line exceeds available width of my normally ~850 pixel wide Thunderbird, with a couple hundred pixels taken on the left for the folders pane.
