Vista - Text size

Text size

I've set the text size for messages to both medium and then larger but as
soon as I open a newsgroup, the messages are either smaller or smallest in
size and I have to resize them individually. I've tried resetting and going
directly to the newsgroups, resetting, closing and then re-opening WM and
even doing the above in both WM and IE just in case WM gets its setting from
IE.

I'm totally at a loss to figure out what else it could be.

Help, anyone?

Try setting WM to read all messages in plain text, tools>options>read tab.
Then on the same tab select Fonts button>set the size>apply.
HTH?

Thanks so much...trying plain text never occured to me. I guess the word
"plain" just didn't seem to coincide with changing etc. :-) anyway, it
worked perfectly and I say again, THANKS.

Thanks for the feedback.

Obviously this will affect the way you read HTML email, a quick workaround,
when you really do need to see HTML mail, photos etc. Use Alt V H key combo
on the selected message.
