Of course Thunderbird developers want to listen to users, but I
think it's best to stay away from making statements on behalf of
all users. I'm a fellow user; if I disagree with you on something,
how do we know who's right? <br>
<br>
This method of decision making seems very much based on opinions,
when I think it would be better to gather metrics and use cases. <br>
<br>
For instance, are there any indications that users feel they are
not getting enough vertical screen real estate? </blockquote>

If the complaints in Get Satisfaction (4175 referring to 'screen
space' that is over 8% of the total topics posted on that forum.)
and the over 1 million downloads for the compact header addon are
anything to go by the answer is a resounding YES.<br>

Install an AV package and they will almost always install another
space grabbing toolbar that just can't be integrated.<br>
Small Screens<br>
Anyone using the message pane to read email (ME)<br>

Because the users started griping when TB 3 came out. The volume
went up when Firefox cleaned up their UI.<br>
The current TB UI looks windows 2000. Mostly because it is.<br>

I realize data is hard to come by, but it seems like a more
worthwhile discussion than what the codename should be and what
the versioning should be. I think if the right bugs got fixed,
users wouldn't care what version number it is. :) <br>
