 Please let me have another try at this one:



When I turned on my computer this morning and started opening messages in 
Outlook Express there it was again the windows not fully maximized. Rats!



It would seem on my computer anyway there is a short-term memory lost when 
it comes to remembering the last window.



So forget my previous posting about the arrow keys and such unless you just 
want to frustrate yourself and generally get mad at me for sending you on a 
wild goose chase.



Once the message window is maximized it will stay maximized for the next or 
previous window you open. It seems when you close the window then reopen or 
open another message you will need to re-maximize the window.



So when you get the message window maximized use the shortcut keys below to 
move between messages:



For example:

Move to next message    press cnt greater than symbol

Move to previous message    press cnt lesser than symbol

To delete message press cnt delete

: Hello Ray and other interested parties.on this topic:
:
: OLEXP: Outlook Express Opens Messages in a Small Window
: View products that this article applies to.
:      Article ID : 190277
:      Last Review : June 24, 2004
:      Revision : 4.0
:
: This article was previously published under Q190277
: SYMPTOMS
: When you open any message in Microsoft Outlook Express, it always opens 
the
: message in a small window. You can maximize the message but when you open
: another message or close and open the same message it will again be opened
: in a small window.
:
: CAUSE
: Outlook Express does not have an option to open new messages in a full
: screen or maximized Window. Outlook Express does save the size of the 
window
: you selected last time you opened the message.
:
: RESOLUTION
: If you open a message and instead of maximizing it, drag the four corners 
to
: stretch the window to almost full screen, Microsoft Windows 95 will 
remember
: the Window size and open all messages in a larger window.
:
: Link to article
: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=190277
:
: This seems to work in the latest versions of Outlook Express 6.
: I believe the keystrokes for this task would be as follows.
:
: To pull down the system menu for the window press alt spacebar.
: press the letter m to select move or arrow keys to move up or down and
: select move and enter.
:
: Use the arrow keys the position the window to the corners of the screen 
and
: press escape when done.
:
: When using the arrow keys for this task move along the borders of the
: window.

: Subject: [VICUG-L] Maximizing Messages in Outlook Express
:
:
: Hello All:
:
: I have a question.  I have a client who is asking me if you can have
: messages permanently maximized in Outlook Express.  For example, if you
: go into one message, maximize it, then read that message and go to
: another one, when you open the second one, is there a way that it will
: come up maximized?  I've looked at several options in Outlook Express
: and I can't find a way to do this; so, I'm asking all of you here in
: case I am missing something.
:
: Thanks for your helpin advance.
