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.
