User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); de; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5

Not everybody is happy with the developers' choice to add the action buttons in the message window. I, for one, find them very disturbing, and they have proved to be counterproductive in everyday use: they actually manage to cover an important part of the sender's address.

Please make them removable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive message with really long sender's address
2. Open message in preview pane
Actual Results:  
Header pane action buttons cannot be removed

Expected Results:  
Header pane action buttons should be removable since not everybody uses them, and they can get in the way.
