Would it be possibe to extend a few rows automatically and then add
in the scroll-bar to the To:/Cc:/Bcc: address fields like the mail view
canvas having scroll-bar if the text is longer than the page view size.
This way user can see more mail addresses up and down naturally than
going left-right-left...
