Navigation, and display size are the issues.   When Message List is
displayed it takes up about 1/3 of the screen starting from the top,
the way I have it.

When I turn it off I have more area to read (less scrolling
adjustments) to read the actual message bodies.

Message List is good for jumping to a post that is not 'next' or
whatever, you know, just a post from some dozen or so posts back in
the list that I wish to quickly refer to and refresh my memory
regarding some point.
  So I toggle on ML and have a quick look at the message, then turn ML
off again and resume reading the messages that I have not yet read
(usually using the space-bar to proceed).

I have only a 17 inch monitor with 15.9 viewable area.   Not a lot in
my opinion.
 I like to grab as much as possible viewspace (all if possible) for
 the message body.  Thus I'd like to have a 'Message List' icon.
