Thanks for taking the time, Paul.  So...if the minimum is supposed to
kick in if it does specify a smaller size, then there's something wrong
with my SM mail?  Because this is obviously not happening, with my
minimum set to 16 and no serifed fonts selected anywhere, I still get
tiny, serifed fonts...sounds like something's out of whack....?

Or, is it possible the authors have somehow specified this particular
tiny font and "locked" it in so the recipient's mail program cannot
change it?

OK, two more questions:

1) What happens if you do CTRL-0 (numeral zero, not letter "O")? That
should reset the size. Doesn't it?

Yes, it does.


2) If you examine the full headers, can you find a line reading
charset="<something unexpected>"? For example, if the sender specifies
charset="UTF-8" do you get different results from charset="Western"?

I'm not real sure exactly what I'm looking for here, but.... I see
nothing that says charset ="Western".  I checked the "Content-Type"
lines and found the following:

E-mails with the "tiny text syndrome" had the following Content Types:

text/html; charset="UTF-8"

text/html; charset=utf-8

multipart/alternative; boundary="_----------=_MCPart_1593885945"

multipart/alternative; boundary="_----------=_MCPart_669633312"

multipart/alternative; boundary="b1_5b0d220a1ea9cbaf6856fe8ef0fb81b5"

multipart/mixed; boundary=----4Oz1cemc-VaPAg2ba9qUy7nc-P.mV

E-mails from one source with the following content type show up properly:

multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_02B2_01CD447D.ADE6FE90"

Also, I see some of my plain text messages are showing up in Arial and
some in Verdana.....?  Two fonts I have chosen in Edit - Preferences -
Appearance - Fonts.  But I can't understand why the same one is not
being used all the time.


Hmmm...this is maybe a little weird...one of these problem e-mails has suddenly shown up with a content type of: text/html; charset=us-ascii, which was previously text/html; charset=utf-8, and now the fonts are showing up just fine: the type and size I want them to be!
