This is a simple fix.

edit skins/default/mail.css

find


#messagebody
{
  min-height: 300px;
  margin-top: 10px;
  margin-bottom: 50px;
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
  border: 1px solid #cccccc;
  border-top: none;
}

change to:


#messagebody
{
  height: 300px;
  overflow: auto;
  margin-top: 10px;
  margin-bottom: 50px;
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
  border: 1px solid #cccccc;
  border-top: none;
}

where  300px is how big you want your message window before scrollbars appear. Tested in latest versions of Firefox, IE and Opera.

Thanks,

Justin

If anybody can solve this with CSS I would be happy because I was not
able to support all bowsers.

Have to check this. I think it could work but I'm not shure about the
Macintosh browsers.

Event-handling issue in JS. Also I think this step is not unnecessary.

You could add a .htacces file where setting
php_value  session.gc_maxlifetime to whatever you like to have your
session ducration. Will make this configurable in RoundCube once.

Should be done in the latest CVS version.
