Is there a way to move the message pane from the bottom of the messages list to the right of it?

The question should be self explanatory. Windows Mail allows the folder pane, the message listing and the message pane to be listing in 3 columns side by side. In Thunderbird the message pane is available only beneathe the message listing. Am I missing something?

Could you go to the View menu, choose Layout, then Veritical view?

Please let me know if this helps (in that case you can mark your question as answered). Thank you!

You are missing the 3 layout choices under the View menu.

View-Layout Pick one of the layouts that works for you.

No menu bar with View? Press thealt key.

I had hit "vertical" earlier before I requested support, and nothing happened. It worked just fine after trying subsequent to your suggestion! Not sure what happened, but thank you for your help.
