In Outlook Express, Inbox, when I double click to open and read a mail, by default, the window is not maximized. I have to manually click the "Maximize" button to enlarge the reading window. Is there a way that can maximize the window by default?

You can set a program to open maximised in the shortcut properties.
In outlook express you may find it useful to use the preview pane. This will allow you to read almost all messages without having to open another window.

that is a good one. i don't know how you would do that. i would NOT use the preview pane (turn it off via View/Layout). I would turn that off so that I only open the messages if i want to, not automatically in the preview pane if they are highlighted.
if this helps any, you can maximise/minimize easily by double-click anywhere in the blue title area of the window.

Although I could not find a way to fully maximize every time, if when you open an email you drag the window height and width to the limits of your display, then click File, Close, the next time you open, it will be enlarged if not totally maximized.
