Hi, I'm trying to fix bug 90368 by screwing around with 
msgHdrViewOverlay.xul and msgHdrViewOverlay.js (found in messenger.jar). 
  The gist of this bug is that when your message header is in collapsed 
mode, the only way to get the email address (and not just the name) of 
the sender is to expand the header.

I have been able to get a tooltip to show up for the From: field in the 
collapsed header by editing line 73 of msgHdrViewOverlay.xul to read 
thusly: <mail-emailaddress id="collapsedfromValue" flex="1" 
tooltip="aTooltip" tooltiptext="foo"/>

Where foo is the tooltip text that shows up.  However, I am having 
trouble getting the sender's email address to show up there.  I've tried 
using some of the variables that are used elsewhere in the xul file, but 
I've only managed to break the mail window.

I was wondering if anyone out there who knows a little bit more about 
how this works could give me some pointers.

Thanks,
Ben
