Always include previous messages in your replies. I, for one, don't keep any
post more than ten days old, and some even less. With that in mind, I have
no idea what you have tried so far.

Tools | Options | Compose. Is *anything* checked in the Stationery section?

Have you tried a new identity? File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a
new one and test it. If all is well, you can import your messages from the
old identity and delete it.

In OE: Tools | Options | Read | Fonts. Choose: Western European (ISO).

Clear the Temporary Internet Files. In IE | Tools | Internet Options |
Delete Files button. And check the box to Delete Offline content.

Although written for WinXP, it works for all Windows operating systems 98 or
newer.

If you are using WinXP/SP2, and it was not already on your computer from the
factory, you will have to remove SP2 first.

I can change the font size in the formatting toolbar but when I type the

most things I can think of to no avail. Is there some way to clear the
