435115 2006-03-02 21:00:00 Hi Folks. Have an old friend who wishes to make the readable font in incoming emails a lot larger. The offered options in Tools/Options - that is, smaller, medium, larger, etc, don't go large enough for his failing sight. Any thoughts? Help will be appreciated. Scouse (83)

435119 2006-03-04 00:24:00 Hi Rob Ninja Peter.... been over there this morning. None of the above gets the font large enough for what is wanted. Thanks. Scouse (83)

Screen reading software...? maybe.
