How to shrink the email panel in Mac Mail

The panel in my Mac Mail that displays From, Date Received and Subject randomly expanded and now won't let me minimize or shrink it. I spoke to someone at Apple Support, tried all the things she suggested (which I had already tried myself before talking to her) with no luck. She then told me: "I suppose that's just how it displays now." Really??


When I put my mouse on the line, it should give me an arrow to drag it wider or shrink it right? It only gives me the option to make it even wider. So strange. I've attached a screenshot of what I'm having trouble with. It's super annoying. Please help!

Hi again!

That's the problem. It won't allow me to drag to the left to make it smaller. Only to the right to expand. No arrow to make smaller. It's so weird. I don't know how it happened or what I hit to make it expand this way. I've even tried to omit the Subject line (which I don't need to see) but that's not an option either. Annoying!
