Hello Brent,
So, when you compose a new message in imp 6.1.4, it now
defaults to opening the compose window full height...1200
pixels on the desktop in my case. I can't see a way to change
it.
to clarify the matter of the 1200 pixels: Do you think any
window height larger than f.e. 1000 pixels is just too much text area?
Or do you want to say the window is 1200 pixels
and sits directly next to the taskbar / overlaps the taskbar?
In my workflow I usually run Firefox with the max possible window size.
Therefore new messages also use the max possible window size.
How do you normally access imp? Full window size?
This shouldn't matter though (i.e. full window size). The sizing
of the compose window is completely independent from the size of
any browser window.
The compose window is sized in relation to the size of the
*screen*. It will be sized at the screen height minus any UI
Chrome (i.e. Windows taskbar) minus 50 pixels.
The problem I believe Thomas is reporting is that he has a
browser that is not correctly removing the size of the UI chrome.
That's what I am asking about in terms of working around these
broken browsers (I can't reproduce this on any browser in either
Windows 7 or WinXP).

I have an 1920x1200 screen. I never run any app full screen as that
just wastes space. I typically run my browser around 1024x800-ish.
The initial compose window opens the size I expect (828x683), but
then tries to fill the screen from top to bottom (I run the start bar
at the side, so it doesn't quite make it to the bottom) and is now a
compose window of 828x1150.
It is probably all by design, but I'm not a fan of the design.
This is correct behavior. If you don't like the design decision,
you can always hack the source.
After all, the previous decision made less sense (it was just an
arbitrary size value). Especially if you had a bunch of addresses,
you had very little space to compose without scrolling. The new
behavior is a much more reasonable default as you can see more of
your message body at once.

If using Outlook (I know...I know), and you reply to a message, it
opens in a size that was last used to compose a message. One could, I
suppose, use a cookie to store the window size used in the Compose
window and always use that value. I don't think that selecting max
height minus 50 pixels is a good solution, it should be more flexible.
