Random font change when replying or forwarding mails in Outlook Ex

Hello,

I am experiencing a rather strange issue with mail in Outlook Express: I
often receive mails which I reply to or forward. Sometimes the recipient will
get those mails with certain characters or paragraphs changed to a very large
font. This is totally random and can be just a few words in a line, or an
entire line, or just a few characters. In order to exclude any software
problems on my computer, I reinstalled XP with SP2, but even with a fresh
install, the problem remains. The only way to get rid of those characters is
to go to Tools - Options - Accessibility in Internet Explorer, and select the
field to ignore font sizes on webpages, which of course makes web browsing a
not so nice experience. Does anybody have an idea what could cause this ? I
have done everything from changing fonts to scanning the registry for any
clue. When I look at the source of the emails with the large fonts, I can see
that it is font type Arial with a font size of 100. I have a feeling that it
has something to do with web settings, but I don´t know where else to look.
Thanks for any help in advance.
