My default plain-text viewing font is Monaco 10pt. When I changed the sentence in TextEdit to that font and size, it was much more readable (see below). Why not just use plain text messages and then no one can blame you for the size of your message text?
Times New Roman 12 point:
I am sending this HTML message in 12 point Times New Roman
Monaco 10 point:
I am sending this HTML message in 12 point Times New Roman

I know Diane Ross said it was teeny tiny when she got it.
Does anybody else see it teeny tiny.
Any ideas what’s going on?
