In SeaMonkey you can simply add the following:

    #expandedHeaderView {
       max-height: 25em !important;
       overflow: auto !important;
     }

to your userChrome.css file, and that will provide you with a scrollbar
so that you can scroll the headers.

In Thunderbird you'll need to create the file:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/edit

<quote>
userChrome.css

This file sets the display rules for various elements in the Thunderbird
user interface and is located in the sub-folder called chrome in your
profile folder. This folder does not exist by default, so you need to
create it before you can start adding your preferences.

So, under your default thunderbird profile create a 'chrome' directory,
then create a userChrome.css file (use the text editor) and paste the
following (all between the '===='s into it & save it in the new chrome
directory:
====
/*
 * Edit this file and copy it as userChrome.css into your
 * profile-directory/chrome/
 */

/*
 * This file can be used to customize the look of Mozilla's user interface
 * You should consider using !important on rules which you want to
 * override default settings.
 */

/*
 * Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct
functioning
 */

/* Change background to a Silver Gradient color.
 * (For screen widths up to 1024 pixels.) */
@import url("chrome://global/skin/subskin/gradient-silver-1024.css");

/* Change background to a Silver Gradient color.
 * (For screen widths up to 1280 pixels.) */
@import url("chrome://global/skin/subskin/gradient-silver-1280.css");

/* Change background to a Silver Gradient color.
 * (For screen widths up to 1600 pixels.) */
@import url("chrome://global/skin/subskin/gradient-silver-1600.css");

@namespace
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /*
set default namespace to XUL */


/*
 * Some possible accessibility enhancements:
 */
/*
 * Make all the default font sizes 20 pt:
 *
 * * {
 *   font-size: 20pt !important
 * }
 */
/*
 * Make menu items in particular 15 pt instead of the default size:
 *
 * menupopup > * {
 *   font-size: 15pt !important
 * }
 */
/*
 * Give the Location (URL) Bar a fixed-width font
 *
 * #urlbar {
 *    font-family: monospace !important;
 * }
 */

/*
 * Eliminate the throbber and its annoying movement:
 *
 * #throbber-box {
 *   display: none !important;
 * }
 */

    #expandedHeaderView {
       max-height: 25em !important;
       overflow: auto !important;
     }

That will give you scrollbars for your headers. Note: if you wish you
can just create the userChrome.css to have only

    #expandedHeaderView {
       max-height: 25em !important;
       overflow: auto !important;
     }

in it. That will work just fine - the other examples are there in case
you want to modify/experiment with other things as well.
