When I paste into OE6 the font size sometimes becomes unreadable small.
(6p )
I can't find a pattern to it.
"Format Font" is greyed out in the message window.
I only compose and send in plain text.
The News "Compose Font" in 'Tools Options' is set to be '9p Arial' but
appears to be Times New Roman 12p on the page as I write this.

Any Thoughts?
TIA

It's a problem with different editors used in Outlook Express and other
programs. Quickest fix is just to click (in the Compose Message window
menu) Format/Rich Text(HTML) followed by clicking again Format/Plain Text.
Another fix is just to save it to the Drafts folder. The formatting is not
done until the message is either saved to Drafts or the Outbox, although the
applying Format/HTML followed by Format/Plain Text will make the results
apparent immediately.

In addition to what Jim said, you may find this little utility useful

http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/

It lets you paste the text without the formatting. I've used the option
to have the Window-Key+V do the convert to pure text and paste. So if I
use that rather than Ctrl+V for the paste, I get the pure text, but I
can still use Ctrl+V when I want the formatted text.

Thank you both.
I'll try 'puretext' in spite of being loath to add yet another icon to the
QL bar :-)
