No, I'm talking about the message list headers as shown in the attached image. They were taking too much space on my screen so I removed all but the three columns shown. I was wondering if there was a way to combine those 3 columns (and the info shown from each message) into a single two-line column the way that Outlook and Win Live do.

No there is not.

This feature has been requested since at least 2005:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307070

You can achieve something like that in TB by selecting 2 or more messages in the Threads Pane, and then viewing 'N Conversations' in the Message Pane (F8).
