Just chiming in... I somehow missed the first part of this (threw it out unread, I must have mixed it up with a topic I didn't care about from another list... I had to dig it out from deleted mail). As far as I know, the default location and widths of incoming and outgoing messages is fixed. There is nothing you can do to alter them. Why they are different between your old iBook and new one, I can only come up with two possible answers. 1: Your prefs are screwed up, and there is some unknown way to alter the default size, and that is being reflected in the screwed up prefs (delete your Emailer prefs and see, that is where the other window options are saved). 2: (the one I tend to believe), what you are seeing in an optical illusion resulting from the older iBook having an 800x600 resolution, and the new iBook having 1024x768 resolution. In my quick testing of changing the resolution on my iMac between 800x600 and 1024x768, the default window sizes stay exactly the same. Sure, they are larger or smaller due to the DPI, but looking at items in the background, the windows open at the same positions relative to background images. As far as I know, an incoming message auto sizes to what looks to be about 82 characters, and as long as needed to fit the message, or until it hits the bottom of the available screen, whichever is smaller. You can manually size it longer but not wider, and can manually shrink it to than what looks to be about 75 characters wide by 6 lines long. The default outgoing message window (new message) is 93 characters wide, by 27 lines long. I am sure the size of these windows will adjust to shrink if the screen resolution or window tiling doesn't allow the sizes seen here... but 800x600 does allow it (I'm thinking if run on a 512x384 screen such as a classic Mac 9" screen, or if you have a bunch of windows open and they are pushed near the bottom or right hand side). Does any of that help shed light on your issue? -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
