XHTML1.0 Strict, can I use <small><big>? not come across them before.
Had a go for the old definition list but it screws up my font sizes for some reason, I can feel a coffee coming on.
Quick off topic question: is the census of opinion to lop off the quoted text or leave it to the email client?

It's been a while since I've messed with it. But as I remember, if you use list-style-type:none on an ol, you can get some odd positioning in IE6. Does anyone else remember this bug?
Are you using html or xhtml? If html, wrap the a in <small>a</small> <big>a</big>
Personally, I don't like those tags but I know others do.
You can then use CSS to define the look of those letters

Cheers Ted!
Even as I read ;-)
What are the browser issues with ol's? I would go and research but I gotta get this project out the door by Friday :-o
As an unordered list would it not loose meaning especially if I signfy the choices visually using the same letter A? I could always use <em> for the current choice.

Why an ordered list?
Regardless of semantic purposes, you may come across some cross-browser compatibility issues if you are doing any kind of image replacement or background images. I would go with an unordered list as you don't need to go to the smallest size before getting to the medium and then largest size.
Or… drum roll please…. Use my swiss army knife, the definition list
Dt – font sizes
Dd – small
Dd – medium
dd- large.
It could happen!

Evening group
Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I would mark up a font size menu, for example:
<p>Font size:</p>
<ol>
<li>A</li>
<li>A</li>
<li>A</li>
</ol>
With font sizes defined ever larger on the list items as a visual indication and the ordered list from an accessible unstyled point of view.
