Reading messages

Maybe I’m getting
older too fast, but I’m finding more and more often that I simply
cannot read the incredibly tiny text of some of these messages. The
only way I could read Brian D’Agostino’s message was to pretend to
reply to it and increase the text size by two steps. I’m replying to
Bjorn’s message without doing the pseudo-reply, and I haven’t
increased the text size yet, so I have no idea about the content of
his message. The letters, by my measurement, are a bit under 1
mm high.
It’s a real
nuisance. I urge posters please to send plain text, or to use fonts
and sizes that are generally readable by those over a certain age…
Most posters do, so I assume just about everyone could.
Now I’ll try to read
Bjorn’s message using the “magnify” technique.
