What is an intermediate window? I think what happened was that I started
fooling around with the task bar menu to try to get my messages back to
normal--tiling and cascading the windows. And then once one of the e-mails
was in a tiled position, I was able to resize it. I still don't understand
what caused the problem in the first place.

Well done, Andrea. You likely ended up resizing an 'intermediate' window,
not one maximized.

Today whenever I click open incoming mail (or a newsgroup post), instead
of opening, it gets sent to the task bar. I can then open it by right
clicking and maximizing it, but I can't size it. What's happening and now
can I fix it? I'm using Windows XP SP2 and Outlook Express 6. Thanks in
advance.

Sorry--I have no idea what happened, but the problem is resolved.
Suddenly I was able to resize a message, and then all of my messages were
okay.
