I must be dense because after all these months of using Entourage, and now
Entourage v. X, I just discovered that you can almost completely eliminate
the header pane if you want to have a larger message area for some reason.
At least you can on incoming messages. There, there are a pair of parallel
horizontal lines, about 1/4 inch long, near the center above the message
area. If you click on them, the cursor changes to a resizing cursor (dot
above line above dot). You can then click higher up, just below the toolbar
in the message window, and the header pane collapses to nothing or almost
nothing. You can do the same by click and drag on the resizing lines. To
restore the headers, reverse the process. You sort of have to guess where
the new bottom of the pane should be, and may overestimate and need to
reduce the pane after increasing it.

I also found something interesting: If you CONTROL-click on the resize bars,
a patterned dark grey bar appears, extending across the entire window, which
allows you to see very clearly where you will be placing the new top border
of the message pane.

What is quite curious to me is that these resize bars appear to be entirely
absent from a draft message window, which is one place I'd particularly
appreciate having a larger message pane, while I am composing my message.

To the MBU: Is there a reason they had to be left off here, or was the
omission an oversight?
