<DIV>A possible solution here is to set up the font display to be larger than 
your current default.&nbsp; Though how to do it varies with different programs, 
this is a basic feature that most email clients should have.&nbsp; Though I'm 
guessing that all emails will seem larger.&nbsp; So a 10 font email will look 
like 12 font and an 8 font will look like 10 font.&nbsp; Just an educated 
suggestion</DIV>

Alternate suggestion:

Subscribers might set their software to *display* whatever THEY want, but
*send* it as ASCII/plain text.  That way, everyone can read it with *any*
size they want to, and not be forced to view it with only the senders
format. 

This would give maximum compatibility (sorry, Microsoft). Everyone wins, 
nobody loses. How about it?

Not everyone has this convenience. Why not make the list as easy as
possible for *all subscribers*? 

Since you are asking users to make a change, why not make a change that 
will allow the most flexibility?

Some folks have already started using ASCII/plain text, and I bet 
everyone can still read their messages just fine :-).

What do you think about this idea?
