<div>There are a lot of UX features that I think we agree
broadly on. The problem is that many (perhaps the
majority?) of them are actually very hard to implement.
Multi-line thread pane rows is a great example; if we
added that as an option, I don't think anyone would
complain. Sadly, the implementation is very involved and
requires a lot of expertise with XUL/XPCOM. We have the
same problem with making message headers scroll with the
body, as well as MIME parsing changes and many others.<br>

I think a perhaps more relevant issue is that Mozilla will not
accept a patch to implement it, I think the statement in the bug
was XUL is deprecated. But the message was clear. If you want the
feature, implement it in HTML.<br>
