Hi all,
Can set Thunderbird(Fiesty) to show all headers, but then can't scroll
down to read message.
Am trying to set Thunderbird to allow me to strip out all header info
before I forward mail.
How may I achieve this?
Any help very much appreciated.
Take Care
Winton

In SeaMonkey you can simply add the following:

#expandedHeaderView {
max-height: 25em !important;
overflow: auto !important;
}

to your userChrome.css file, and that will provide you with a scrollbar
so that you can scroll the headers.

In Thunderbird you'll need to create the file:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/edit

<quote>
userChrome.css

This file sets the display rules for various elements in the Thunderbird
user interface and is located in the sub-folder called chrome in your
profile folder. This folder does not exist by default, so you need to
create it before you can start adding your preferences.
</quote>

So, under your default thunderbird profile create a 'chrome' directory,
then create a userChrome.css file (use the text editor) and paste the
following (all between the '===='s into it & save it in the new chrome
directory:
====
/*
* Edit this file and copy it as userChrome.css into your
* profile-directory/chrome/
*/

/*
* This file can be used to customize the look of Mozilla's user interface
* You should consider using !important on rules which you want to
* override default settings.
*/

/*
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct
functioning
*/

/* Change background to a Silver Gradient color.
* (For screen widths up to 1024 pixels.) */
@import url("chrome://global/skin/subskin/gradient-silver-1024.css");

/* Change background to a Silver Gradient color.
* (For screen widths up to 1280 pixels.) */
@import url("chrome://global/skin/subskin/gradient-silver-1280.css");

/* Change background to a Silver Gradient color.
* (For screen widths up to 1600 pixels.) */
@import url("chrome://global/skin/subskin/gradient-silver-1600.css");

@namespace
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /*
set default namespace to XUL */


/*
* Some possible accessibility enhancements:
*/
/*
* Make all the default font sizes 20 pt:
*
* * {
* font-size: 20pt !important
* }
*/
/*
* Make menu items in particular 15 pt instead of the default size:
*
* menupopup > * {
* font-size: 15pt !important
* }
*/
/*
* Give the Location (URL) Bar a fixed-width font
*
* #urlbar {
* font-family: monospace !important;
* }
*/

/*
* Eliminate the throbber and its annoying movement:
*
* #throbber-box {
* display: none !important;
* }
*/

/*
* For more examples see http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html
*/

#expandedHeaderView {
max-height: 25em !important;
overflow: auto !important;
}
====

That will give you scrollbars for your headers. Note: if you wish you
can just create the userChrome.css to have only

#expandedHeaderView {
max-height: 25em !important;
overflow: auto !important;
}

in it. That will work just fine - the other examples are there in case
you want to modify/experiment with other things as well.

Hi, many thanks,
I did the above, and now have scroll bars, but with all headers showing,
cannot read message.
My purpose is to be able to strip out headers etc. before I forward
messages, but headers not showing in forwarded message for me to remove.
Many thanks again.
Take Care

I think the only way to do what you want is to copy the contents of the
e-mail to a fresh email and send that. Otherwise, the program will keep
the headers for threading (and other) purposes.

Change the max-height:
max-height: 25em !important;
