[MlMt] Full-Screen mode when Composing Email (either new or reply)

[Guillaume Barrette]

Dear Tj,

   Actually, macOS has a split view on full screen (if you are on El 
Capitan or above). To do what you want, I would do:

1. Open the message that you want to reply in a new window: File > Open 
Message [CMD+O]

2. Reply to this message: Message > Reply… (or Forward, Redirect…)

3. Now, using your cursor, click on the green circle without releasing 
(hold click) for about a second. Then you will see a blue rectangle 
appearing behind that divides the screen in 2. Move your window to the 
side of the screen that you want it to appear. This would push your 
window in full screen but taking half of the screen space.

4. Then, on the other side, you will see multiple windows. Select the 
window that corresponds to your open message. This will push it in full 
screen to this side, so you will have both side by side.

You can see [here](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204948) for an 
overview of the feature from Apple.

I'm on Mojave, I think on Catalina a little popup will appear instead of 
the blue rectangle to place the window, but they do basically the same 
thing.

Hope this help!

Best,
