<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I am all for reintegration. I was put
off years ago (Bug <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634831">634831</a>),
but in all honesty the grand plans at the time have not
materialized, scrolling headers are still a pipe dream. I do not
have 12 lines in my three pane view for a header I simply do not
normally use. It might be Ok when reading mail in a tab, but I
simply do not do that.<br>
<br>
It might be worth offering an option to have different header
representations in the reading pane v the tab/Window view. <br>
<br>
It would also be nice if the header toolbar just found a home
somewhere else when the header is collapsed. It is alright for
me, mostly I have just added the icons I want to the main
toolbar, but there are now mail toolbar only icons so I do
without them. <br>

I am the developer of the CompactHeader addon and currently, I
have
<br>
stopped developing it.
<br>
<br>
The first reason is: If XUL is going away (is it?), then what
happens to
<br>
the message and header panes anyway? Will they stay the same and
use the
<br>
current technology to be displayed, i. e. XUL and internal
overlays?
<br>
<br>
The other reason is: If I understand correctly, I had to transfer
nearly
<br>
all the javascript code for modifying the header into an
"experiment"
<br>
addon. Shouldn't these "experiments" be used to prepare
integration of
<br>
API into the full code (at least for firefox)? If so, why not
<br>
integrating the functionally of compact header (back!) into
Thunderbird
<br>
directly. Especially, if the whole technology for displaying the
header
<br>
will change anyway. Besides this, CompactHeader is currently
<br>
monkey-patching the internal functions for displaying the header.
An
<br>
experimental Addon would just add another layer of complexity.
<br>
<br>
Currently, two different technologies are used to display message
<br>
header: XUL for a single message, and HTML for selection of
multiple
<br>
messages. But it is this way now since several years (since
Thunderbird
<br>
3.1?).
<br>
<br>
So what are the boundary conditions?
