Window sizing

Section 31 · Joined: 12 Aug 2007 Posts: 1

In OE6 when I compose a new message and then click on INSERT and then
FILE ATTACHMENT a small window opens with my files in it. How do I
make that window bigger ??? It is so small. It does not allow me to
drag the corners. Because that window is so small I can only see 5
files at a time where I have over 100.

Is there a way to make the Insert File attachment window bigger ?
Thanks.

I don't know of any way to resize that.

But there is an alternative way to insert attachments. Open a Windows
File Explorer window to the desired folder. Size it as you like. You
can then drag-and-drop files from there to the message composition
window.

Why are you responding to a message from 6th June 2006? The OP already
received good and proper advice.

Then you need to learn how to use the group properly. You are answering
queries from 2005 which have already received GOOD and PROPER advice. In
most cases your answers are not helpful and can do damage in a lot of cases.

ALWAYS a last resort.

That won't compact anything in the Inbox, only in newsgroups.
