When composing, my text area is usually large enough, but in replies I seem to have about 17-lines visible, and almost always have issues when scrolling to see what was typed before (either response or my own text).
Is there any way to resize the text area for the reply box when in (my preferred) rich-text mode?
In plain-text mode, the reply window can be resized (and is much larger initially, anyway):
Okay, I use a custom signature, and if I deleted that, I'd gain another 5 lines — but being able to custom set the size of the rich-text reply window would be best.

It's not really possible, unless there is a script to do it. One thing that you can try, just to get some more lines inside the editor, is to Reply (or Compose) in a separate window. You can achieve that by holding Shift and clicking on Reply button (or Compose).
