Apart from moving the Reply, Reply All.... half the window down. In both cases, I assume you expect the up/down arrow keys to be used for navigation and mouse pointer hovering near the reply buttons. So why does it matter where it is placed ?

But on a mailing list, the subject does not change much (at all) in the replies. So if I get to see it at the OP or in the preview, I'm happy. On re-claiming wasted screenspace, I would rather begin killing off the 'Mark Junk' and 'Mark Not Junk' appearing next to each other. It is the same with the right click menu on a message.
