View source for Thunderbird:Compact Message Header:Use Cases

In Thunderbird 3, {{Bug|480623}} moves compact header view to an extension. Please list specific use cases where compact header is helpful and/or normal message header gets in the way. A use case in this context must include a '''specific''' type of mail and/or a '''specific''' type of user, plus the circumstances of how work flow is impacted.  The purpose is to collect information which will later be organized, discussed, and used toward the end goal of a) improving how compact header view is supported, and b) helping specific use cases where improving compact header is not sufficient to significantly improve the use case.

The "need for vertical space" and your passion for the need are of course assumed, and so should be omitted from the use case (see [[#Notes_and_Assumptions]]). Discussion and promoting one's position beyond the basic details is a non-goal. Generic use cases are not helpful. A short one or two sentence description limited to '''how''' the message pane is used in a specific case will be most helpful. Link to screen shot may be helpful.
