Private Message window is unsizable?

I use FF and when I click a link from the main screen to view a PM I have, it opens up a new window and that window is not resizable. THis is fine but when it's a subscription PM it says click here to view the thread. Then that thread opens in a tab inside of the unresizable window which sucks for reading the thread. Any way to make the PM links not open a new window or have the "click here" link close the PM window and open the thread in the main window like it does when you post a new topic?

Or maybe I jsut have something configured wrong...

You could just copy link location and open it in a new window.

well yeah I could do that but that woudln't be fixing the problem. Then I'd have 3 open windows instead of just one.
 
If you have FireFox then download the Tabbrowser Preferences Extension or edit your about:config so that popus load in to the existing window. This has worked perfectly for me.
