OMG bug 464973 checked in<br>

I regard this as a watershed change<br>

Now that is out of the way, lets have a sensible discussion on <a
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634831">Bug
634831</a>. Note the <a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/compactheader/">CompactHeader
</a>has 161,454 users per AMO<br>
<br>
I filed this bug years ago prior to TB17, it is functionality that
is close to my heart as I basically use the reading pane. I find
email from this list in particular unreadable without it, (half a
screen of message header). There has been much discussion over the
years about cleaning up the UI and making more room to mail, but
this honking great header has received minimal attention. For those
using a tab to read mail it may well make sense, but in theabsence
of a tab and in the presence of a tool bar customised for using the
reading pane it is a waste of space and a duplication of functions.<br>
<br>
I am further spurred here by the fact the add-on is no longer
working with Daily, so work will be required to bring it up to date
for the next release, could we not just include the functionality
in core.<br>

Let's never let an off-handed comment about an ugly UI<br>
by someone who is not deeply involved in TB<br>
Have such a deleterious affect as the removal of this feature has
had<br>
<br>
This is proof that we are on the right track<br>
and the "My way or the Highway" principle of development is now
dead<br>
<br>
And also an example of how 1 or 2 personal views<br>
can derail the project for the greater good<br>
<br>
Three cheers for the current Thunderbird Team<br>
And now on to a game changing TB 38 release<br>
