I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I am unable to make my "start a new mail message" window remain maximized.
Every time I click the icon to start a new message, the window comes up with a scroll-bar over the far right edge of the window. I just run it up to the top and the 3 boxes at the top right-hand corner are revealed. I can maximize the window but it just seems that I should be able to make it start maximized without anything further.
I also remember some time back a similar question ended with some suggestions to effect all changes with the window NOT in the maximized state before exiting. Upon restart, the window(s) should retain the change. I've tried opening and closing all windows in different variations of the non-maximized size but nothing seems to fix this problem with the write new mail window ... only.
Granted, this is not a big deal but it's the principle! ;-) All other windows open maximized (if set this way before exiting Pmail) and the new mail window is the only one that won't stay upon restart.
I searched for previous inquiries on this subject and found something where Thomas Stephenson had suggested renaming the "STATE.pmj" file in the HOME directory, which I did to no avail. (I'm guessing from the post's title that window sizing was the question.)
Any other ideas? I appreciate any and all tips to fix this nuisance. Thanks,
Robert
