Comment (by kdorff):

 No, actually I think people ARE disagreeing with the new feature. The
 default of two lines is small. When I mouse into the compose box to start
 typing, two lines it is a small target, especially on high resolution
 screens. For you, the tiny target is probably great, for me I want to make
 it an inch or so (whatever size is comfortable for "me"). Every IM client
 I have tried (MSN Live, Yahoo, Trillian, Pidgin 2.3.1) has the compose
 window as sizable; the reason is probably because person A wants it tiny
 and person B wants it big. Maybe person B wants it big so he can review
 what he is going to send when he types more than "LOL", maybe he wants it
 big so it is an easy target for mouse into. Maybe he wants it big because
 he has a big textbox fetish. Why take that away when it is now standard
 functionality in every other IM client (including Pidgin 2.3.1).
