= Project Name =
Thunderbird || Content-Only Fullscreen option

Providing fullscreen functionality similar to Firefox's F11 hotkey to Thunderbird's email content pane whilst retaining keyboard and GUI shortcuts to navigation across the account (next/prev message, delete, inbox>sent>trash navigation).

= Project Details =
The purpose of this project is to toggle stretching the focus of the content of your messages to the full screen view and hiding the UI and toolbars, while still retaining purposeful navigation functionality.
This option will require seamless harmony between plain text, RSS feeds, newsgroup messages, and any of them with web-like content (HTML, inline binaries) as well as scrolling.
== UI Preserved ==
*Subject, From, Sender, Reply-To, To, Date
*Next & Previous message (with subject displayed)
*Junk
*Delete
== Additional Ideas ==
*New Message alert
*Junk excluded from next/prev navigation
*Mark As Junk on next/prev buttons, replacing it with next non-junk email
== Technologies Used ==
*Javascript
*XUL/XML
*CSS
== Tools Used ==
*mIRC
