I see, this is no problem but I'd like to have the scrollable message
window scaled to the maximum space available (depends on the current
window size) before start scrolling. And this is what makes it difficult
because we don't know exactly how much space the headers will take and
if you set height:100% it'll take 100% of the window which is too much.
