What is a 'no scrolling' e-mail policy?

Some companies have instituted a no-scroll policy, meaning the scroll bar on the side of an email. When you open up an email, you're given about four to five inches to type a message. If you go beyond that, the bar to the right begins to scroll, and you begin to move down on the page. Companies institute this because that's a pretty large space that you've already been given to type a message. If you can't fit the message in there, perhaps you should rethink the message.
