Dredging up an old problem and just to recap .....

I was having problems with AKA's being cropped at the right-hand end of  
the message reader window in my old Win7(64-Bit) install of APoint, which  
was solved as outlined above. However, I don't seem to be able to use that  
method with my Win10(64-Bit) install of APoint but after all this time,  
I've finally found the solution .....

Install the Winaero Tweaker tool from https://winaero.com

Once installed, do the following:
[1] In the "Appearance Section", click on "Aero Lite" and then click on  
"Enable Aero Lite(default)"

[2] In the "Advanced Appearance Settings" section, click on "Window  
Borders", change the "Border Padding" from "4" to "0" and then click the  
"Apply changes" button.

Problem solved! :-)))

There's *LOTS* of other stuff that can be tweaked, have fun :-)

Regards,
Martin
