The reason it's a problem is that you have no chance to decline to open an email if it's automatically opened in a viewer.
This means that you automatically tell the sender (if they are set up to know) that you exist. And then you keep getting rubbish delivered to you.
THAT, Apple, is why you should change it.

It's now 2017 and it's still not changed. 😟 I have just replaced my old Android tablet with a new iPad mini 2, and I am very disappointed with the mail app. I have looked through the store for a 3rd party app with the "list" view layout, but I haven't found one yet. I thought the iPad was supposed to be the gold standard, but my Android mail app was much better.
This is the way many eMail client apps are laid out/styled and work for both iOS and OS X.
Been like this for well over a decade, now. This isn't going to change any time soon!
Most Apple users are very happy with the way thier email apps look and function.
If you aren't happy with the way any of these email client apps work and you cannot find anything that works for you and are frustrated with iOS and your iPad, sell or return your new iPad to Apple or whoever you bought it from (if from Apple, you can return for a full refund within 14 days or less) and go get yourself a brand new Android tablet or Microsoft Surface tablet!
Good Luck to You!
Thank you. I have submitted my feedback to Apple. Maybe some other people will find this post and will also submit feedback asking for the same thing. I do not plan to return the iPad because everything else is working very well. I still use my laptop a lot when I am home and usually read my email on it, but I do not take my good laptop with me when I go out of town. My Yahoo email is the account which has tons of emails and where I most need "list" view, so I will likely just use the web browser for my Yahoo emails unless/until Apple updates their email app or I can find an alternative app which offers the "list" view. (I haven't yet tried the Yahoo mail app on the iPad, but I remember I didn't like it on the old tablet. I think it took up too much storage space.)
Thank you again for the feedback link.
Interestingly, whilst fiddling about with my yahoo mail on my iPad this morning I somehow ended up with email list only, as on my iPhone and iPad. My happiness was short lived though as it reverted to annoying open email format. I plan to try again and will post if I get a a permanent result.
I have submitted feedback to Apple. I won't hold my breath.
You CAN send feedback to Apple here.

Apple read ALL feedback, but never personally responds to any individual feedback.
Good Luck!
I Just bought an iPad and want to do the same thing.
The OP here is almost five years old.
Any changes?
Thanks!
No changes.

I'm disappointed with iPad also. I don't know why, but it bothers me to always have an open email displayed. OSX isn't that way.
