Research direction

Start with the linked WebExtension themes guidance and inspect the current developer-docs page behavior for paging, feedback animation, columns, zoom-on-hover, and navigation. Done means a de-animated version is available with readable text, normal scrolling, and no motion-dependent interactions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I was referred to https://developer.thunderbird.net/add-ons/web-extension-themes for help making message text more readable.

If I try to page down, only the middle pages down, so I get a migraine. If I try to click on "was this helpful?" it animates, which worsens the migraine. It hurts.

If I use reader view, then I get weird gaps in the text, and I don't know what I'm missing here.

Please include a de-animated version: no fancy columns, no zooming on mouseover, no non-scrolling nav elements, none of that.
