Great addon! Visually, it would be nice if there was an option to remove the buttons (reply, forward, etc.) as well. Thank you very much for helping to reclaim what was wasted screen real estate!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1.4).You can do this with the customization dialog: Press the mouse button over the buttons. Then grab the buttons with the mouse and drop them over the customization dialog.

Lifesaver! I was going to avoid Thunderbird 3 all together if it wasn't for this extension that makes it usable again. What were the developers thinking. This should be part of the out of the box functionality.

Excellent addon, thanks!
By the way, could you add an option to display the message in a new tab when clicking or double-clicking on the message header? Currently you have to double-click on the message in the list.
Thanks again
The idea with the double click on the header pane sounds interesting. But I think, this can be done in a separate add-on. At the moment I am not planing to extend the functionality of this add-on.

Who would have thought that a little - sign could be so important. Screen space is valuable and this should not have been dropped in T3.

Works brilliantly to correct this minor but, for me (and lots of others it would seem), annoying "improvement" in TB 3. Many thanks.

This is what I was looking for. And it was already there for only asking what to do : THANK ALL of Y'ALL.
Any one that was 'flaming-out' about this must be in the snow storm and needed an excuse to burn themself for heat -just go to h_ll : its real warm there.
Thanks Again, DUG-n-YAZOO

Excellent MUST HAVE Add on.

Incredibly Thunderbird 3 can't hide headers !!!
Thank you very much!

Thank you. Bravo! Absolutely wonderful!!!
An older version of this add-on stopped working after I upgraded to TB 3.0 RC1. But this new CompactHeader v1.0.1 is working just great with the latest TB on Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit.
This add-on is absolutely necessary because the TB header band is an extremely wide, and generally useless, distraction. The viewing space that is sacrificed to its unadulterated presence makes this add-on an absolute necessity, that is, unless you don't mind your email viewing area ridiculously reduced with information that is generally irrelevant.
It makes one wonder why the developers don't include such an option in the TB base code. It's a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

This extension was absolutely necessary. I was thinking about ditching Thunderbird because the headers took over an inch, and with a 21" widescreen monitor I was always moving the divider bar between the messages list & the message pane. It was very frustrating.
Thank you !!!!

Especially when I receive big messages containing more advanced HTML than usual (lots of images and formatted text in various sizes), the ability to collapse the header frees much needed space. This is such a small, simple and highly useful addon that I have to write a review and contribute to the well deserved high star score it has. The first thing I thought upon installing it was: "Wow... Why isn't this part of TB3's native features?".

THis is what I was looking for.... great.
But I cannot install version 0.99.6-tb in TB 3.0 b4. (refused by TB)
Which version of TB is compatible???
For TB 3.0 b4 please use the version 0.8.3 (https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addons/versions/13564#version-0.8.3)
If you use current nightly builds (or the release candidate 1 (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Thunderbird_3.0rc1)) you can the current version of this add-on (at the moment 0.99.7)

This extension is awesome, and the author is quite responsive to issues.

Perfect. Made the mistake of opening from my download folder and received the "Firefox can not open this file, etc." message. Once I opened it within Thunderbird (Tools --> Add-ons --> Install Button --> open Download Folder --> Select Compact Header 0.8.0) as the directions state, it installed and ran beautifully.
If someone could tell me why Mozilla/Thunderbird thinks its necessary to consume that much screen space with redundant information? My laptop and I would greatly appreciate it.
