emails are filling the whole screen. Have to double click to view them. There has always been a separation between the list of messages and the content. This was on the bottom of the email list. How can I restore it that way? Thank you.

Chosen solution

Double clicking a message subject line opens it in a new tab or new window depending on what option you have set. You can toggle the Message Pane on and off by pressing F8 and read the content there with a single click.

I can double click and get the message up. The Cannot use F8 because that line is also covered. Also, no info on bottom, because it is also covered. What I need is to be able to make the emails smaller.
