Plato--

1) I have and always make it a point to have the font set to *Plain Text.*
I understand the concern about bandwidth and dialup for people not using
broadband. I have never seen anything posted *here* that requests anything
else but plain text in the public groups. I have seen directions in the
Beta groups repeatedly from that if you think there is an appropriate
reason, you can post in html and put up an attachment *from Microsoft,* and
a number of people who have not read that announcement will always reflexly
complain repeatedly anyway if you do.

2) As for the font, I can understand a font size setting if I had
FormatHTML selected because of the addition of the HTML toolbar, but I
don't, and I don't see any additional way with a Plain Text setting to
control the size of what you see, but if you can show me one, I'd be
delighted to set it.
No one would intentionally try to post in any size that is unconfortable for
anyone else, and I haven't had anyone complain that I'm using a "mini-font"
in several hundred posts on these groups. Where's the "minifont" setting
on a plain text OE message? I don't see one.

3) I like big fonts, and because I do, I have View settings at several
different places to insure that everything I see from the OE newsreader is
large from

a) Popping "control desktop" into the run box and setting for large fonts on
the display
properties dialogue box.

b) On the IE toolbar putting a check at OptionsAccessibility. This allows
me to use the mouse scroll button to over-ride the size of the text in
OE's NTTP newsreader as well as web pages, whatever the size the poster
used-- it doesn't matter.

c) I have the view on the OE toolbar set to a certain size, but this can be
over-ridden by the accessibility setting.

4) Again, I empathize if anything I posted turned out to be "html mini
font", but I don't know how because I have the FormatPlain Text setting
selected.

5) I like big fonts to the extent that I have gone out of my way to have my
title bars, task bars, and notification area, minimized taskbar buttons, and
menus in much larger than normal sized font and skinned them so that I can
see the colors easily and I can scroll these messages like a rheostat with
that simple Accessibility setting.

Thanks,

Chad Harris

Since your going to post in html with a mini font, pick one that is even
smaller to give my eyes an even better workout.
