Re: XP Outlook express Message Preview Mode problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

There is no icon. You have to place the cursor where you want to do the stretch and watch for it to turn into a double arrow, and then move the section.

I may be misinterpreting you, so perhaps this may help.

Right click on the minimized message on the Taskbar and select Move. Now use the arrow keys to get it in the screen. Close all other windows except this one and use the cursor to drag the message to full screen size. File | Exit, and Windows will remember the size when you open it again.

Thanks for the reply.
I have done that but do not get the resize icon to perform the resize.

Are you changing it via View | Layout? Check everything except *Beside
Messages*.

At this point, you can use the cursor to resize the frame when it turns
into
the double arrow.

When it is resized the way you want, using the toolbar, right click and
close all other options that have been minimized. When nothing is left
except the window you are in, select File and depending on your options,
either Exit, or Close. Windows should remember the change now.
