Apple Mail:Preferences window can’t be resized.

While changing my signature in the Preferences section in Apple Mail the window suddenly expanded to a massive width and I can not shrink or resize it. How do I correct this.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

You can try— delete all the signatures; then open Mail.app with the Shift key held down.


I suspect there was was some formatting in the added sig that did not allow it to fit the window.


Try plain txt, makes some edits if necessary and try again.
