All of the differences - the header bar, the lack of a location
window in two-pane view, the blue bars, and so on. The
Communicator 4.XX layout was the best I have ever seen, and the
current Mozilla/N6 doesn't really match it very closely.

Don't make an absolute declaration on maters of opinion. Just
because YOU an tolerate it doesn't meant it's tolerable. I
accept that the revers is true, but it is still the primary
reason I won't use it. Gives me a headache.
The message headers belon on the TOP of the MESSAGE, not on some
damend irritating bar. It really kludges up the UI. Hideous.
