Default Cannot change font size with OE 6

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?

If you are using stationery, some default to a specific font and size.

Tools | Options | Compose. Make sure nothing is checked or selected in the
Stationery section.

I did a Google search, and found a person with the same issue. This
answer solved the problem for me:

After thinking about this I went into IE Tools/Internet
Options/Accessibility . I noticed I had the "Ignore font sizes specified on
web pages" checked. I unehecked this and now I can change the font size in
my email messages.
