How do I move the message preview pane to the right side of the screen instead of the bottom.

I am trying to recover from a hard drive crash. I have reinstalled Mozilla and everything appears to be working. However, I can not figure out how to move the message preview window from the bottom to the right side of the screen as I had it before.

Alt key to make menu bar appear. View-Layout

Layout was moved in the new AppMenu scheme so you will just have to look for it if using that menu.

You change the view in the View and Layout menus.

I can't seem to find a Layout menu. I do see a View menu under the main menu, but nothing within that selection addresses layout.
