Size of the reply box - Is it big enough, or should it be bigger?

Sometimes -- especially when there's a lot of quoted content inside the reply box, like in a PM Braja just sent me -- I feel like it should be bigger to help me comprehend my contribution as a whole.

Any thoughts on this? I'm thinking in terms of making it 30 rows or so in size, currently it's 20 rows.

By the way, in case people haven't noticed, you don't need to necessarily click on the "Add reply" button, you can just hit ALT+S. Mentioning this in case someone might feel it's too much of an endeavor to go all the way down to the bottom to click that button...

One inconvenience is the "select all read" option is at the top of the screen, but the "delete/send to (selected) folder," etc., options are at the bottom. Could these be put next to one another for convenience's sake? Or perhaps even in both, as I think Yahoo does.

I'm looking into this. It's a bit more complicated than just copying and pasting, I note, due to some interesting coding in the original. Expect to see this sorted out within the day.

OK, it's fixed now. It's a quick fix, and a bit ugly at that, but it's the best I can do for now short of breaking the whole thing apart and putting it back together in a new order.

At the top, there's now a quick link that'll bounce you to the bottom. At the bottom, there's a "Select read messages" button. These two should make your life more comfortable.

While I'm at it, if you have any other suggestions, feel free to post them in.
