That's the point(sic). If the email program
wasn't so damned "smart" -- if it could only send
plain ASCII, there wouldn't be a problem.
Your "stuck on 14 point" reminds me of the
photocopiers that are so smart that they won't let you
copy something like a passport (or a small receipt,
i.e., not because it's illegal but the "wrong" size)
unless you put a piece of
blank 8-1/2 X 11 paper over it because they dynamically
figure out the orientation and magnification of the
copy from the original.
I still like the phrase "rich text" (i.e., I
dislike what it stands for) --
What is the purpose of a person acquiring perfect french pronunciation
if they have nothing of value to say in any language?

I's like to go back to Netscape 3.04 and take the other
fork in the road from there to SGML on the Web, instead of
the path we have gone....

I change it to 12 when I think of it, but may have forgotten in this case.
Of course I prefer larger type for it's easier for me to see as I compose.
I just had a look and I had already changed it to 12 – so I changed it
to 10.
