Thank you for your response Gary,
I was unfamiliar with the Verdana font, had up to now used Times New Roman
but think your suggestion even better.
I already have the font set there at 36pts and, this shows in the email
under the subject line when I start to compose but, as soon as I press a key
the size flicks back to 12. It is very frustrating. Do you have any
suggestions?
