Yes, I know this falls into the category of "Don't do that" but is still a bug ;-)

The problem is that if you drag the splitter between the two halves of the compose window all the way to the bottom then close the compose window, subsequent compose windows are 'blank' along the bottom and do not permit text to be entered.

To reproduce:
- New message (or reply to a message)
- Drag the splitter (between the two panes) all the way down.
- Close the compose window
- New message (or reply to a message)
- Note that the lower half of the message compose window is 'blank' and does not allow you to enter text (and in the case of a reply, does not show any of the quoted text). (the bug)

- Drag the splitter up a tiny bit to 'reset' and show the body.

Patch for splitter fix

Patch changes splitter collapse method from 'after' to 'none'. This prevents message body widget from disappearing.

sadly. :(
Since @collapse only applies when you have a grippy in the splitter that you can click to collapse, which we don't, wouldn't you rather just remove the attribute completely?

Yes, that would be more clear solution.

Removing collapse completely

Looks good to me.
