This message reads to be as Times Roman 12 pt bold. You can set the read font size in the Read Tab, near the bottom.

I think what happened was that I used another email as a blank slate for my message and thus used those characteristics. I think this message is in Verdana 10 point bolded font which is my default. I thought the sender had control over email font sizes and not the reader. Am I learning something new? If so, I didn't see where in OE / Tools / Options to set it. Can you help? Thanks. KenC *********** (message from Dave) Hmmm. I read yours as being 12 points Times Roman. Somehow I don't understand why the font size isn't dictated by your own setup in OE/Outlook.

This might sound like a strange request and suggestion to a JAWS, aka no monitor for visualization, group but let me put on my flak jacket and request that some of you increase the font size of your email from 8 to 10 point font non-bolded to 10-14 point font (Verdana is great) bolded for those of us using this great information source so that it will be easier on our low-low vision still got some central acuity eyes. Thanks. KenC
