Ely, its an enormous pain to try to read your messages. They are
in extremely tiny print, in very, very, faint grey. I get the
impression you want to demonstrate quantum non-locality in the
presentation of each letter.
Sometimes I really haven’t got the time or energy to copy the
text and reformat it into something legible. I’m sure the text must be
interesting, at least sometimes, but in many cases, I’ll never know,
will I? Except by reading what other people with better eyes report
about it.

Set your email to read in HTML. Different writers have
been using different formats (Rich Text, Plain Text, HTML), with different
fonts (New Times Roman, Arial, Courier in 10 or 12 pt) all
along. I am not the only one. If you set your email editor to HTML with
Arial in 10 Pt, you will be able to read all messages without any problems.

I do have it set to read in HTML, which is probably the problem.
I use that setting because I like to see the images of which some
messages are composed. This message of yours was better. Black, not
pale grey, and I think in a different font. Still tiny, but not
microscopic. When I post, I do so in Monaco 9pt, which is much larger
than the Arial font in even this message.

Ely, might I suggest that the writer of the message should format it so that his
readers are able to read it. Not to be crabby or fussy, or anything, but it is
not exactly the best policy to ask other people to change their readers, because
you can't send in a standard font. I am sorry to crab at your request, but it
seemed to me to be somewhat uncharitable and not very helpful, since I cannot
change the way my reader displays email.
Merely an opinion.

Sorry Bryan, I wasn't trying to impose my will, just trying to be helpful.
If this is a problem, we can solve it.

This message came through normally, in the font and size used by most posters. Thank you. It helps those with old eyes.
