Disable Icon Rollover Text?

Is there a way to disable the rollover text when the mouse hovers over the twisties and the importance, conversation, recipient, flags, attachment, and type icons in the mail view? They really get in my way. I know what they are, especially a twistie ;), and they cover up the email information I’m trying to see if my mouse lands on them.

Also - how come there’s rollover text for the date on unread messages but not for sender or subject, etc.? I’d rather only see the rollover text for those fields ONLY IF my display column isn’t wide enough to already show the complete information. And, I’d rather the rollover box have the smaller form that you see when rolling over a toolbar icon.

Thanks!

Subject: Rollover text only for fields not completely shown

I have to correct my last observation - I do see that the pop-up rollover text appears only for fields that are not displayed in their entirety within the Mail View.

I would still like to make that text box smaller - the same size as the rollover info for toolbar icons.
