Resizing Email Response Window
Recently when I reply to an email the response window opens up full size. I can’t seem to find a way to downsize it so I can still see the email I’m responding to. Is there a way to do this?

Another option is to temporarily switch the display resolution to smaller than you’d typically use, since that resizes onscreen windows to fit the new screen resolution. This is possible from the Apple menu > System Preferences > Display section of settings.

And a second click on the Green dot just brings it back to still too large?
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
Thanks for the helpful suggestion re the option of resizing by using the Window menu & Zoom option. That works. Problem may be I am still using the Mojave system, updated to 10.4.6. Have been prostrating about installing the new High Sierra system but probably need to do that.
Ah, thanks, take care my friend! :)
Do you mean FullScreen or just a big Window?
Can you grab the lower right corner and drag it up & inward?
Just a big window. I’ve tried to grab the lower right corner and drag it up & inward but it won’t do that
Does the Window have the Green, Yellow & red dots at top left? And Green dot does nothing?
Yes it has all 3 dots.Clicking on the green dot makes the window go full screen, the yellow dot minimizes it to thumbnail size and red closes it altogether
First click on green dot makes it full screen without any dots. So far only way I can close window out is to go ahead and send a reply using the big screen.
Hmmm, Mojave 10.14.6 is later OS than High Sierra 10.13.6
My mistake. Know there has been one and I think two upgrades after Mojave that I haven’t done, just can’t remember there names.
You mean OS versions like Catalina & Big Sur?
Yes.
