Dick, Here's a post that appeared here previously. Hope it works for you. Margaret Font size can only be set if you are composing email using HTML text not plain text. In Outlook Express, it's called Rich Text, and can be found by opening up the Format menu (Alt O). If you've already typed your text, simply select all the text with Control A. Otherwise proceed as I've set it up here. Once you set your email as Rich Text, then press Alt O again to open the Format menu, and arrow to Font. It will open a dialog box similar to Word's fonts dialog box. Tab to Font Size and type the size you'd like to see the font be, and press Enter. That will give you the font you want as well as the point size. You can compose your email in the new size, and then send it the way you normally would.

I have looked into Tools, options, fonts and changed the font size, but nothing happens when I read the email sent, it still says "Font small"? All ideas would be appreciated.
