Talk:Thunderbird:Compact Message Header:Use Cases

Regarding: "Implementing Bug # 499516 IMO would be the best of both worlds. Showing the header pane where appropriate and helpful, and hiding it when not needed."

Isn't that bug about full-screen mode, and not about intelligent header-pane display?

It is, but it covers the same use cases and is therefore related. --Rsx11m 14:39, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, the message-only view (full-screen or not) takes two extra steps: one to enter it, and one to exit it. --PeterLairo 11:49, 4 July 2009

That's correct, thus I would see the full-screen view as an addition rather than a replacement, since a 3-pane view with only part of the screen used is still a valid use case. --Rsx11m 14:39, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
