Its strange I`m using Times New Roman Medium size at the moment which is
close to the default but if I reply to the to thread "auto reply" on this
newgroup the text in the message is bigger - its only if I reply to that
message however whats wrong this never happened before.

Mine has never been set to larger and it was on Western European Windows.
Medium don't look right either and smaller seems closer but its not quite
the same.

To the best of my knowledge, larger is the default size, which is what you
asked for. If you are concerned with the font size when reading, just hold
down the Ctrl key and turn the mouse wheel until you get what you want.

When I reply to some of the messages on this newsgroup some of them have
"Unicode UTF 8" in the title bar and the ones that do have different text
size whats going on. Used to be all the same.

You can't force someone to use the settings that work best.
