I found a fix ...

In moodle/message/send.php, I deleted <br /> on LINE 105, and that took care of the problem:
from...
echo '<br /><input type="submit" value="'.get_string('sendmessage', 'message').'" />';
to...
echo '<input type="submit" value="'.get_string('sendmessage', 'message').'" />';

I have had clients describing this issue in Firefox and in MSIE 7. For some, the "Send" button is pushed so far down the screen as to be not visible at all.

To fix it, I increased the size of the messaging window and the relative size of the frames within the messaging window. (I must note that I actually wasn't able to test whether this worked because I was not exhibiting the issue)

The changes I made touched the following files:

message/lib.php
user/view.php

(There might be more places where a popup link to a send message window exists)

Anyway, I'd like to make another recommendation that the size of the popup windows for messaging not be hard-coded into four or five different places but instead be define()ed or set to a variable somewhere in a library or at the top of the files in which the popup js link occurs.

Thank you!
