(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, enhancement)

A feature of Zimbra that I've found to be quite useful is the way it displays messages. In particular, it scrolls header information along with the content of a message. It's useful because after reading who it's from, the next thing you need to do is read the message, and the more space for that, the better.

This is a suggested UI enhancement to consider. I'll attach a (rather poor) mock up of how this might be done in TB as well as how it's done in Zimbra.

Reproducible: Always

Foolish me, thinking that I had an original idea...apologies. 

I'll move the screenshots over to the other bug.
