Hi Greg M. & Sam E.,
                                          The size of the "text composing
box"
is not critical because the box size does not limit the the size
of the text one can enter in the email. The text in the box scrolls
down as each new line is added. The size of the box just 
determines the portion of the text visible without paging up or 
down. The larger the box, then the less one has to scroll to
see the entire text.  There must be a limit on the amount of
text but I don't know what it is.....the limit is more than I have
ever written! <ggg>
