True,
I have been thinking about that one to.. however, then the scroll-
while-selecting stuff doesn't work anymore. Unless of course you
do some gtk+/gnome hacking with the "motion_notify_event" which
I tried. Ehm it works +/- .. but I disliked the result.

Some other suggestions from me :

* A button/checkbox inside the headers entry to show/hide it.
* Add a GtkVPaned to resize the height of the headers entry
  (maybe same for the gnome_icon_list -> bloats balsa?)
* Make the headers entry a scrolledwindow to (will only make
  it smaller when a lot headers are selected)
* Display the headers in the preview widget (as mimetext)
* Smaller font for the headers and an extra option to select
  the font for "all" the headers : not only the subject which
  is now the case.
* ...
