Greetings!

I'm using Eudora Pro 6.2.x under Mac OS X 10.3.8. Works fine, but some
incoming messages are grotesquely, illegibly small. I believe those are
coming from PC Outlook/Outlook Express users. The font is Arial, and I
don't even know what point size it is, but I cannot read it. In order to
read it, I generally have to Reply, then edit the font and font size in
the quoted text.

Does anybody have a better way to deal with this? Anyway to force
incoming messages to respect my font specifications instead of the
sender's? I normally use Monaco 9 pt for all configurable choices in the
settings.

Thanks in advance!

The easiest way is to tell Outlook users to never send messages to you

:-)

Otherwise, you can go to the settings dialog, Styled Text pane, and
uncheck some of the "Pay attention to" settings for receiving styled
mail (for example, small sizes).

Oh, that would be impolite!

Aaaahhh! That does it. Thanks so much for the hint! I can't believe I've
suffered from this for years, and never noticed that possibility...
