Maximizing message pane / how to invoke MsgToggleThreadPane()?

[eMPee584]

Browsing through the list of messages, it would be very useful to be able to maximize the message pane.. there once was an addon that did this but it was last updated three years ago and doesn't install on modern versions:

• in tb addons: https://services.addons.thunderbird.net/eN-US/thunderbird/addon/maximize-message-pane/
• Homepage: https://hogi.sakura.ne.jp/en/mmp/mmp_detail.rhtml
• Implementation: https://github.com/cleidigh/ThunderKdB/blame/df0836af38a2b823790b093cda95671fe6a3e6b5/xall/x68/1392-maximize-message-pane/src/scripts/background.js#L198 ...

So I tried binding window.document.getElementById('threadPane').hidden = true, window.gTabmail.currentAbout3Pane.threadTree.toggleAttributes('hidden') and several variations but wasn't quite able to get it to work. Any ideas wildly appreciated..

Oh and there's a MsgToggleThreadPane() in mailnews/content/tabmail.js, any way to invoke that? If it is even relevant.. xD

The addon seems to do the same thing as opening a message in a new tab.

Try something like:

(function () {
  var win = window.gTabmail.currentAbout3Pane;
  if (win.threadTree.parentElement.style.display !== 'none') {
    win.threadTree.parentElement.style.display = 'none';
    win.paneLayout.folderPaneSplitter.isCollapsed = true;
    win.paneLayout.messagePaneSplitter.height = 986;
  } else {
    win.threadTree.parentElement.style.display = '';
    win.paneLayout.folderPaneSplitter.isCollapsed = false;
    win.paneLayout.messagePaneSplitter.height = 686;
  }
})();

Remember to customize the message pane height values for your particular main window.

Here is how to show the current message pane height value using the error console.

console.log(gTabmail.currentAbout3Pane.paneLayout.messagePaneSplitter.height);

The MsgToggleThreadPane function is in SeaMonkey, not Thunderbird.

You can view the tabmail.js file in the omni.ja archive using the Firefox address bar.

jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Thunderbird/omni.ja!/chrome/messenger/content/messenger/tabmail.js
