If IE-View-Text Size does not stick....

---solution 1
If you are using Eudora 4.2 or greater then use Tools-Options-Viewing
Mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft's viewer"
It is Eudora that is setting the IE text size and unchecking that
option will stop it.

The key that Eudora 4.x will change is this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

---solution 2
In Outlook 2000 go to Tools/Options/Mail Format/Fonts/International
Fonts, and for each font
change the "Font Size" entry to your desired size.

You were specific enough.
Do you use Outlook?
If so, use solution 2.

I am not sure what to say as you were not the OP to this rather old
thread (more than 2 years old) and it has nothing to do with IEAK.

The problem still applies in Eudora 5.2 though I have not yet tested
it with XP Pro to see if it uses the same Registry key (though I can
if necessary)

Thanks for your reply Alan.
You don't need to bother. I have learned to live with it.
I'm thinking of switching to Mozilla Thunderbird (as a Eudora replacement
but I still prefer Eudora 5.2; not so much the 6 or 7).

Cheers
