Ruth, et al,

I have no problem reading the small type size of normal email, but if
you do there is an easy answer. Type your message using the larger
type size, then before you send, select all the text and set it back
to normal size. This takes one keystroke and one click-and-drag on my
computer. If it's much harder than that for you, you could consider
using Eudora for email; it's available for free, and it doesn't have
the security risks that Microsoft products have.

And btw, in case anyone doesn't realize it, colored text is html formatted.
