This is a simple question but I am frustrated trying to solve the matter
myself. Please help!

How do I get the newsgroup postings to open up full screen when I want to
read them? As things are the viewing box is 1/3 of the screen size and I
have to expand it by clicking the little box on the top right hand corner. I
have to do this for each posting.

Close all windows except OE and one post. Click on the title bar at the top,
and drag the post to the top left corner. Next, over your mouse cursor over
the botom right corner and when the cursor turns into a diagonal
double-headed arrow, click and drag that corner all the way to the bottom of
the display. Then click on File, Close. The next time you open a post it
should be the same size as the one you just manually adjusted.

BTW, that should work for *any* program, as well as newsgroup posts or
email.
