Hmmm... before I go open a bug/feature request for this, what would be
the proper way to formally make such a suggestion?

Since an Addon is the ideal way to add new functionality 'outside the
box', there really should be a formal procedure for proposing extensions
for addition in the core code, and for vetting them and giving it a
thumbs up/down - but imo this should be formally adopted by Mozilla for
both Thunderbird and Firefox.

If you tell me a bug request is the best way, I'll go open one...

Title:
  Quick Search  Filter should be moveable

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Today I updated lucid 3.0.4 TB to 3.1.7 from security.  I never liked
  the new "smart" search feature but relied mostly on filtering on To,
  CC and recipient.  I had put the search field for that on the menu bar
  so no further screen real estate was used on my netbook.  3.1.7 now
  introduces a UI regression in that that search field is used solely
  for the dumb "smart" search that opens a tab to waste even more screen
  space.  To use the search that I care about I have to use the quick
  search bar, more lost screen space.  And when I actually use it it
  opens another bar to filter and by then I can't even see my messages
  any longer.

  Seriously, netbooks are here to stay.  What were the UI devs thinking
  looking at their 28" TFT display all day?
