My PC: desktop running XP Home SP2. Outlook Express 6 SP2 is my email
and newsgroup program. DSL connection.

Just today, while composing some email messages, I noticed that I
cannot change the font size. It always stays at size "12." Every other
editing option (centering, bold, underlining) works fine. I create a new
message, type some text, highlight a word, or words, select the font drop
down arrow, select a larger number, but it defaults back to "12." Any
suggestions?
