Simply click and drag the Reading Pane border to what you require.
Additionally you can from Reading Pane > Un-tick 'Show message header in Reading Pane'.
And/Or minimise the Ribbon by the ^ arrow by the blue white ? top right.
Many thanks for your response.
Yes, it is the Message Header I wanted to reduce - couldn't think what it was called!
'Click and drag' to resize the message header isn't an option for some reason but, thanks, I found where to un-tick 'show message header'.
I couldn't work out what you were referring to re 'blue/white thingy top right' but discovered right click above or below Ribbon gives option to minimise the ribbon.
So, having minimised the message header, I can't see anywhere for opening attachments. Do I have to tick to 'show message header' to do this or is there another way?
I have to admit, I don't use WLM very much as I use/prefer Thunderbird. The reason for wanting to sort out some things is because a friend is needing me to help sort some bits on her WLM (Win 8).
So, I think once I've sorted out how to open attachments, I'll be able to help her enough. Thanks
I can't believe you have to tick/untick a box every time you get an attachment? I must have missed something.
Thanks very much for all your help. It's much appreciated
