Steve, you are a star! I tried to figure how to use the move and size menu items using the keyboard many, many times before but I could never figure it out. Thanks a ton for the explanation.

When the window is restored - which you can tell if you go into the Alt + Space menu and the Restore option isn't available - there should be a Move item and a Size item in the menu. To move the window, choose Move and then use your arrow keys to move the window around. Press Enter when you've got it in the place you want, or Escape to cancel the move. To resize the window, choose Size and then the first arrow you press chooses the edge you want to move, and subsequent presses moves that edge. So, for instance, if I wanted to increase the width of the window by moving the left edge further to the left, after choosing Size I would press LeftArrow once to choose the left edge of the window, and then hit LeftArrow a few more times to move that edge to the left. If you want to resize the window by moving more than one edge, you have to revisit the menu for each edge.

Brilliant Amro. Never knew that one before. Cannot think what I did to make it small. maybe I dragged the mouse in a particular way which made it so small.

When you get the size you want press alt space>restore and hopefully when next you reply to a message the window will open in the size you set it to. Some times the same happens with me although with other apps and that what I do to sort it out. If someone else know of a better way I'd be glad to learn it. I always have to ask someone sighted to enlarge a window for me when that sort of thing happens.

Every time I go to Reply on an e-mail, the e-mail is so minamised that one can barely see the text of even the first line, only I am using a screen reader I know I am writing OK but even at that, I really have to maxamise each time.
