Home run Stan! Playing with the different font sizes in combination is the answer. I've got it where it is now tolerable and all I have to do is get the right combination of font sizes. Its strange but the regular font sizes in the browser are also affected depending on the combination that I choose. Going to the different sites that I visit shows that the text size there is about 125% larger than normal, but the text size in the mail client is only about 90% of what is normal. So clearly, you have provided the answer and I will continue mixing the font boxes until I get that happy medium. Thank you and all others who have helped me through this problem. All of you are great and I am deeply indebted to all of you. Wish I could buy you a beer Stan. Thanks!!
