      exactly.

      but that doesnt sound too good then, damn..

      right click on whatever mail tab you have open, select restore, you will get a little minimized page in the upper left. Go ahead and resize it and drag it wherever you want. Opera will pretty closely remember where you had it when you close and reopen.

      never thought of that, great idea. at least now better than before.
      thanks!

      another thing, where to change the width of the actual mail size?
      when i open a mail, a tab opens, but the mail is show in the middle.
      if i have pictures attached, i want to see them the whole tab width.

        Mail formatting is controlled by one of the style files - for plain text messages. If it is an HTML message, then you may be out of luck.

        I don't really know either YAML (to modify the layout of the mail window) or CSS, but at least CSS we should have lots of people around who can help. Look for mime.css, that's the file for mail messages.

          I am not sure I understand your question, but you can set fit to width in the same mail layout options you pictured in your original post. If that's what you mean

            fit to width is only shrinking the content if its bigger than the mail borders, thus eliminating the scroll bars.

            @sgunhouse: hm, didnt find a setting that suggests the body size..

              Yeah, don't know what you mean by body size. A screen shot would help

                I think he may be looking for something that it won't do ...

                If a message is HTML, then it'll appear as the sender specified. If a text message is wrapped, the size is whatever they sent it as. If a text message is "flowed" then it'll always adjust to the window. That's how mail in Opera and also Opera Mail was designed.

                  Try this: open up your preferences editor, navigate to mail and find "Message Width List On Left" Change that value to something like 200 or more, whatever you like

                          here: the mail body is inside the window, but its not getting bigger than that.
                          http://i.imgur.com/ke4LqWL.jpg

                          thw width changes accordingly, when i use the list on the left, but not, when i double click on a mail and the window pops up.

                          Message Width List On Left

                          this is the width of the list. i can change that also with the mouse. this is not the problem.

                            It works for me: http://imgur.com/Dss4dTH

                            and note the description says "message width" not "list width" Maybe someone else can test it and see what happens

                              I tried but I could not get it not to work, especially with a regular email like you are showing. Sorry

                                with a zoom slider it works, but the "problem" is that i dont want to have huge letters, i just want to see attached pictures bigger/full size..
