 = Use Cases =
+* Generally, being able to see as much of a message's body as possible! Vertical space is of primary importance!
+* Very many (most?) users read their e-mails in the preview pane. Giving them a non-sucky experience should be a priority.
+* Most e-mails are taller than the preview pane. Showing as much as possible and minimizing scrolling is critical.
+* Viewing photos (typically vertically stacked) from family & friends. Users should be able to see at least one *full* photo without scrolling.
+* Reading newsletters, which are always longer than the preview pane is tall.
 * bugmail - for a triager processing incoming bugmail most of the standard header information is not useful (To/From, etc), often much of the top of a bugmail is not very useful, and extensions like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/9584 bugmail extension] need a couple lines to display bug details from mail header and other sources (eg bugzilla). Reducing header space would result in less initial scrolling of each bugmail.
