How do I enlarging the Yahoo mail viewing area on the "newest" change?

I am having an awful time with the tiny viewing area in the NEW AND IMPROVED Yahoo mail. When I try to read my mail, I have ads that pop up and cover the right side of my screen, that I can't get rid of, and the inbox, drafts, sent, spam bar cover up the left side of my screen, don't know how to get rid of it either. I need the larger print to see and that means I get about 7 words per line of type. Why cant Yahoo leave well enough alone already?????

Update:

Bert H -- I tried to drag the line between the message and the reading pane. DIDN"T WORK, it would show the little thingie you use to drag, but it would not drag the line??

    Drag up the line between the message pane and the reading pane to make the reading pane larger.

    You can increase or decrease the size of the letters (fonts) by changing the percentage sign in the bottom-right corner (permanent) or hold down the Ctrl key and press the + (plus) or - (minus) key. (temporary).

    ;-)

    I agree with your complaint and have told Yahoo!

    However, I've been using Yahoo! for longer than I care to remember, they're all the same to me, just sumpin new ta larn, if ya gits mah drift.
