Joan, I think AOL has made a change...again. If I try to resize the email message window (not the window that shows all the waiting emails), it does not appear work as resizing did for the window showing all the emails. If I try to drag from the bottom of the window, it stops at the bottom task bar. If I try to drag from the top, I can make the banner ads disappear, but then I have only two lines of email text showing!
