Geary will use a full-height composer for new messages, or if you 
select the Compose Message action from the launcher/dock/etc, but I can 
see how this would be annoying for replies on devices with small 
screens.


Rather than adding a pref, Geary should just do the right thing on 
smaller devices. This probably means something increasing the minimum 
height of the inline composer, and ensuring it scrolls up sufficiently 
when it appears. Note also that the full reply may not be present in 
the composer if you select some text, so having it appear under the 
message being replied to is still important for context.

If the reply composer wasn't anywhere nearly as small by default than 
it is at the moment, would that work for you?
