Andy, I'm a low vision user that uses large fonts and plain text on my iPhone. I just wanted to let you know your messages come with a black background and no text. When I invoke reply mode, I see text, but it's blue and a very small font. Would it be possible to make your emails plain text? Or at least remove the black background, and use a larger font? Thanks in advance. And then I'll be able to maybe offer advice on that MacBook. I've got a MacBook dilemma of my own. Im running a late 2009 that's not going to be Sierra compatible, and is slowly running El Capitan, thus thinking about an upgrade at some point here as well.
