Although my Outlook Express options show a reasonably sized font to create, reply and forward all emails in, my text appears half its size making it very difficult to use! Although, it seems the recipient of the emails do not see anything unusual. I have fooled with all options I can find, and yet this persists. Does the SD have any suggestions how to fix? Is something still overriding my chosen options? Or, could this be a virus? FYI: Outlook Express 2007 (12.0.6691.5000) SP3 MSO 12.0.6721.5000 ---

Which os are you using? Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Live Mail. Are you keeping up with all the MS updates? ---

You don’t mean Outlook Express. You mean Microsoft Outlook. Like Java and JavaScript, they have superficial similarities but are completely different products. My first thought for this issue would be to hold down the Ctrl key and roll your mouse wheel to change the text size.
