Thunderbird 3

Just installed thunderbird 3 beta 3 and it's great apart from the section where the headers for each email are displayed. How can i make this be a bit smaller?. I am running it on my netbook so screen real estate is a big issue for me!

Netbook? Use gmail or Claws.

I like thunderbird and would rather keep it

Turn off icons in the toolbar. Look for a thin theme. Can you not just collapse the header section or not show it?
You should try Claws though. Importing Thunderbird mbox files is no problem.

The header part used to be collapsible (pre-b3) and for some odd reason (too much work to do and stay near schedule or some such) it was decided to remove that for a future version.

It's a stupid decision IMO, but I'm sure someone will come out with an extension/style to change it.
