Thunderbird layout - how do i enlarge the classic view current message pane window? it's too short/compressed, and i can only drag it up a little, then it stops. In the prior TB versions, I only saw the last 3 or 4 messages in the upper message list portion of the classic view layout. Now I'm seeing almost 10 messages in my messages list. Meanwhile, the actual current message viewing pane is now horizontally compressed so that the ratio of message list to message view is closer to 40% message list, 60% actual message text plus the header info. I have tried click and drag the upper border of the current message being viewed, towards the top of the screen, but it stops, and still shows me 10 most recent messages in my list, which is really useless. I only need to see the last 3 or 4. The rest of the viewing pane should be more of the text area of the current message being viewed. Is there a "config editor" tweak to reduce the messages list to 3 or 4 messages, and increase the actual current message viewing area? Or some other fix for this?

Does anyone know if you can undo the latest Thunderbird update, Supernova? This has to be the worse update that Mozilla done to Thunderbird, I can't view my e-mails because the top panel takes too much of the screen and the font is large (ok, I know how to change to font). I would hate to scrap Thunderbird because of this update and I would hate to have to use a different e-mail app, but if I can't read my e-mails what good is Thunderbird? PLEASE HELP

POOR LAYOUT ON SUPERNOVA

What on earth have you done on this 'SuperNova' Update?

The Thread Pane is pointlessly large. I used to adjust this to about three lines of emails - now the minimum setting is about TEN lines. I cannot read my emails! They are left taking up about an inch of the screen!

I tried the vertical layout and while I can read the emails better, a huge chunk of the screen is pointlessly taken up with the list - and it's still far too wide.

I found one ridiculously complex 'workaround' which more of less meant writing code - no thanks!

Please sort this now
