   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
