I have a user who needs to show all of the email address in Thunderbird without having to click the "show triangle"!

To explain:- I have screenshotted before clicking the show triangle and after (email addresses removed to protect the innocent). As you can see the second line of email addresses are hidden.

I imagine there is a setting in about:config, but I have yet to find it!

Someone did find a hack to enable something like this, but it seems like it could be more hassle than it's worth (and may not even work in the latest versions).

You may want to add this as an idea at http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging if it's not already there.

Since Thunderbird 3.1.3 (circa 2010), the following property allows you to choose the default number of address lines shown before "more" appears:

mailnews.headers.show_n_lines_before_more

When equal to 0 all lines are shown. It defaults to 1. (Reference.)

    This worked for me in Thunderbird 31.4.0.
