Contrary to this being marked as FIXED - I doubt that. now it is 2012 and I am using TB version 14.0 on win7 and ubuntu 12.04
I am experiencing same problem: Hiding message preview pane (pain) does not stick between sessions or system restarts. I can live with it, but it is a nuisance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571296 Title: Thunderbird 3 "Message Pane" always visible Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird After upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 Release Candidate, Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client always starts with "Message Pane" visible. When I switch it off with F8 key (or by un-checking in View options) it disappears as it should, but after next Thunderbird start it is displayed again, and it should not, as it was in earlier version (Thunderbird 2 on Ubuntu 9.10 for example). I mean it (Thunderbird) should remember if user want message pane to be displayed or not. To see that error, simply start Thunderbird, hit F8, message pane on left should disappear, than close Thunderbird and start it again, you will see message pane again. So every time I start Thunderbird I need to hit F8.
