Remove headers from email message display

A year or two ago, Thunderbird started including a large header pane in all emails. This takes up about 25% of the available vertical screen space between the list of emails and the emails themselves. Because the list of emails contains all the information in the header, this is wasted space.

I like the layout, classic view/folder pane/ message pane, but because of the large header of the message, I am constantly moving the header up and down to optimize between the number of messages shown in the list and the content of the email. Is there a way to remove the headers entirely from the display, so that there is just a thin separation bar between the list of messages and the displayed content in the message, or to make the headers much smaller than the "normal" view?

Thank you in advance.

Hello

try the Compact Headers add-on.
