For some long time, many of the messages in this forum have arrived
in very small print. Readable, but with difficulty. Bjorn's messages
(or at least one of them today) now are not only in tiny print, but
are in almost invisibly light grey. Would it be possible for people
to send messages in plain text, without fancying them up to make them
unreadable?
Thanks. Sometimes the discussions are worth reading:-)

I remember you commented text dimension earlier. I use Microsoft Outlook.
When we exchange graphics I think it is an advantage to use HTML message
format. This happens seldom therefore I now have changed my message format
to opulent (?) text. I will change if I later send some graphics.
But in my word processor I can open a message, then I can go to the dialogue
box "edit", "edit message" and choose the text format I wish. Have you tried
that?

This message was fine. I presume it was in plain text. Thanks.
Small text has been a manageable problem, but sometimes it is smaller
than at other times, and the even smaller text is unreadable. When
the text is in very pale grey, it's sometimes hard to see whether
there is a letter, neve rmind which letter it might be, even at the
ordinarily small size. Ordinarily small black text is possible to
read, if slowly.
I can pretend to replay to a mesage and edit the text formats to make
the message readable, but that's quite a pain, with so many messages
that might or might not have interesting content (CSGnet isn't the
only place I get mail from, nor the most prolific). My normal
tendency is to skip any message I can't read right away, and go back
to it only if someone who could read it makes a response that leads
me to think the original message might reward a read.
