I'm to young for Netscape, but do you mean this [^1] interface, that's truncating the subject and hiding the body?

Also, which use-cases do you have where you need to see 20 emails at once?

That interface is probably 640x480, so of course it’s truncating things.

And I’m sorry, you really can’t fathom why someone who gets a ton of email would want to see more of them in their inbox at the same time?

Well, you can have a higher screen resolution than 640x480, resize those columns, hide the ones you don't use...

Look at the Thunderbird 1 and 3 screenshots on that page
