My god, I absolutely agree. On Outlook, you can "Pop Out" the draft of your own email, leaving the original email intact in the background ready for side-by-side view, but that's the only solution I know of.

You could just open a copy of the email in a separate window and tile them side-by-side.

I wish, but any open message window gets terminated and replaced when clicking the reply button.

Edit: Found the work-around: You have to hold the Option key when clicking reply to be allowed two windows. Just Mac things, I guess...

What's wrong with seeing the email you're replying to quoted in the message itself? It'd be redundant to see the message right next to you and also just below where you're typing.

If you are answering long e-mails you have to keep scrolling up and down!
