Default Hiding the ribbon

I'm not overly keen on the ribbon in Outlook - especially when composing new
messages. It just takes up too much screen real estate (I mean, I don't
remember the last time I really used an item from it). So, I like the fact
that you can hide it by double clicking, but what absolutely infuriates me is
that this doesn't stick - when you start composing a new message, it's back!
Please fix it so that I can properly hide the ribbon

The other thing that's a bit of a pain is the office button in the top left
- double clicking doesn't close the window, even though one of the options in
that menu is to close...

Default Hiding the ribbon

Absolutely! Double-clicking the top-left should always close an app. Even
when Media player is hiding the menu bar, it allows this (I wish the MSN
messenger would follow suit!). We need some consistancy here, and I love
double-clicking the Control Menu Box.
