Curiouser and curiouser. I selected an outgoing message, hit "remove formatting" and that took care of the problem -- even after I went back and re-added some italics and a hyperlink in order to make sure that it wasn't a plain text file. But then I sent another message without hitting "remove formatting," and the tiny-type problem cropped up again. Yet ... this did not happen with my wife's email account. I've done something to my settings, but I can't find it.
