Hi Vincent,

There are two reasons that all caps bother people.  The first is internet 
convention where words in all CAPS are considered to be LOUD or SHOUTING.  That 
means all caps emails are seen as yelling at the reader by most.

The second is much more important, and that is that all caps is much more 
difficult to read.  It removes many visual clues that people use to read 
quickly.  Here is a link that explains the issue of shape contrast:

My wife also has bad eyesight and sets her Mac to default to very large font 
sizes.  I hope you can find a solution that works for you.

Regards,
