i will try that i was not sure how big the fonce should be.

72 points is equal to 1 inch which may or not be depending on the font 
being used. this might be the issue that's causing the problem. I found 
the adjustment if the email is composed as HTML, but what if the email 
is composed as text?

check the font size for composing mail. it sounds like you are useing a
very large font size. it can go as big as 72 point size.

Subject: thunder bird. Hi guys i seam to have stuffed thunder bird up.
Wile i am in the inbox jaws reads find. But if i go to reply or start a
new email their seams to be 2 rows or windows open. So in the email i am
typing seams to be a small window cos of the 2 windows being open. So
jaws basicly says only a couple  of words on each line instead of having
lots of words on each line. I may not have explaned my self that good.
But a sighted person just said i have 2 windows open at same time. And i
have it maxamized. Cheers
