Fullscreen emails...

[Duncan McC]

How do you open an email, make it fullscreen, and get Windows Mail to
remember that?

(It remembers the position and size of an email (non-maximised) - why
not maximised?)

Can it be done?

I just opened WM, made it full screen, shut it down, re-opened it, it came
up full screen.
Did I misunderstand what you said ?

Hi Duncan, Windows, in all applications, remembers the size and shape of a
Window at the last closing.

So to open a mail window to full screen, open only ONE new mail Window>grab
the edges with the mouse>drag the edges to the size you like>close that
Window with the X.
All subsequent mail windows will open as you just closed it.

Yeah, I know that. But what I *want* is to open the one email, make it
fullscreen, and then close and open any other emails and I expect them
to be fullscreen (Outlook and most other programs do that).

You did misunderstand, but no worries... not the main WM window, an
email open in it's own window. Open an email and it only remembers it's
(non-maximised) size and position.

Why isn't it made to remember if the email window has been maximised?

What I said will give you what you want.

The process of resizing a new mail window can only be done with ONLY one
window open, resize it, close it.
Subsequent new mail, replies and forwards will open to that size you just
changed it too.
Never use the Maximise button.

Thanks Steve, - yep I'm aware that what you suggest, works. It's a
workaround, but it's not fullscreen, and doesn't have the same
properties a fullscreen window does (it's a perfect fullscreen, and it
can't be dragged or moved by mistake a bit - fullscreen is just that.
And that's what I'd like).

PS: I'm actually kinda posting on behalf - as I use Outlook myself!
Which is why I suggested that it should remember if an email was opened
fullscreen (Outlook (and most other apps) do). But when I went to try
it myself in WM, I was quite surprised to find it didn't.

I note also that OE is the same as WM. I can't think of any reason the
MS programmers would not have allowed such functionality. Can anyone
else?
