Enrourage 2008--Changing font size on bothoutgoing and incoming mail.

[zazazoo]

Any help will be appreciated. I have set my font size to Arial 12. My font size increases on outgoing messages to size 14 and/or 16 and keeps increasing on each reply that i send (16/18 etc). I am running OS 10.5.2.

If you use Plain Text you won't have this problem. The settings for plain
text only affect what YOU see and not what the sender receives. The receiver
will see the messages with THEIR preferences. When setting plain text,
choose what you like. This is a great feature, especially if you like larger
fonts for easy viewing. However, the font and size you choose for "HTML
messages (proportional)" do reflect the default font for outgoing HTML mail
and is what the recipient will see.

A good reason to only send plain text. Both the sender and receiver will see
the message in their preferred size and font.

However, if you would like to work to fix the problem, see this article for

Thank you so very much for your quick reply and help. I thought it was a new problem with just sending, but when i read an email i sent from home to work, the font was so much bigger. THANKS AGAIN.

Hi,
I have the same font problem. Size increase in mails when sending in HTML format. Is there a solution to the problem already (apart from using text format only - which is not a real solution)
Thanks for your help.

You could contact the person at Microsoft that is trying to fix the problem
with examples and then we might see a fix.

Please include this info:

1. Do you see this with every message with every email correspondent?
2. Do you know what email client your correspondent uses?
3. What font (name and size) do you typically use?
4. Does it occur when you reply, when they reply, or both?
