User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a5pre) Gecko/20100421 Minefield/3.7a5pre Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a5pre) Gecko/20100424 Shredder/3.2a1pre Thunderbird provides the option whether to show all/normal message headers. However, when all headers are displayed, the information bar becomes way too long, and takes a large amount of space, having a bad effect on daily use. There is a solution to eliminate this option and provide better usability: use an expander (something like Gtk::Expander) in the headers, and show `normal' headers by default. so that when the user wants to view all headers, he/she could just click the expander. Reproducible: Always
This effectively prevents message content to be shown. Notice the scroll bar on the right.
I'm pretty sure their an extension that does that https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/13564

But this is an add-on, not built-in functionality. And it doesn't work well under GNOME with 3.2a1pre, looks ugly. So what's the reason for not having this feature built-in?
