How to maximise Outlook message windows in one hit
In Outlook and Outlook Express my messages always open up in aminimalreading screen. I can maximize each time and I have also tried "stretching" before maximizing, all to no avail. Either way, it is quite frustrating. Apparently, Outlook Express "forgets" the window size settings, resulting in it opening in a small window. Why this happens is unclear, some say it's a bug. Is there an other way thanresizingthe small window by dragging its edges until it fills the screen? Can it be done with any setting?

Hi, 1. Please navigate to Tools, Options, Mail format tab in Outlook. 2. Please select to use Word as default mail editor. Besides, please follow the steps below to resize the window. 1. Open up a message that you have received. This will bring up the Read form. 2. Resize this form so that it fills up the screen. Do not use the Maximize button to maximize the window. 3. Close this Form window. After this each time you open up a message, the Read Form will be displayed in the same location and size and will appear maximized. 4. Open a New Message Form, by clicking on the "New Message" button on the toolbar. 5. Resize this form so that it fills up the screen. Do not use the Maximize button to maximize the window. 6. Close this Form window. Each time you bring up the New Message form, it will be displayed in the same location and size and will appear maximized.
