You want to be moving it. Do NOT allow your curser to become a double arrow at the top when you MOVE the window. It should remain a curser, the point of which is within the colored bar at the top of the email window. Click and hold, then you move the curser which will drag the whole window wherever the curser goes. The window does not change size while you are doing this dragging. After you get the bottom of the window placed where you want it, THEN move your curser further up and allow it to change to a double arrow and this time increase the size of your email window by moving the top UP. Sharon>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ OK fellas, I got zapped with the "append an ad to the bottom of the individual message" update. No problem. Do like Sharon says above. However, there's more that can be done. Place the cursor on the blue bar, left click, and shove the blue bar under the main screen's tool bar. When the blue bar is shoved under the main screen tool bar, note that, over to the far right, the vertical scroll bar appears (if it hasn't already). Pull the slider down, which moves the whole screen up. Now hook on to the bottom of the message and stretch it down all the way. Move the whole screen back down, and you'll notice a shift at the top so that you can move the individual message screen up some more, so shove it up under the main tool bar again, move the whole screen up, and repeat the whole process several times. This process results in getting the message longer and longer, little by little, but eventually you've got the blue top bar up as far as it will go, and the ad hidden. Then do a "Window > Remember Screen Size and Position". UNLESS they're pulling a Netzero "can't get rid of a floating banner" trick. Woody
