Prior to that, these windows were maximized. I cannot remember what I did to cause these two windows to be always minimized. I have to maximize the window in these two windows in order for me to read the entire lines of text I have written. How can I set the new message window and reply message window to be always maximized. I hope someone can help with this problem. Sincerely: Dave Durber
