Default mail text size

Using Windows mail 6.0.6000.16386 Before installing IE 9 Beta, the default
size for reading my mail was "larger". Now it is "medium" and I have to
change it manually to "larger" for every message I open. I want the default
to always be "larger".

Re-install IE 7 and dump the beta.

Ops, that should be IE 8 beta.

This is a known bug in the current IE8 beta.
It causes font settings in WM and WLM to be ignored.
I have had to revert back to IE7 because my old eyes got tired of
trying to read all messages in a 9-point Times Roman font.

Thanks, I tried IE 8 because 7 was becoming more and more unstable. But I'll
take your advice.

You're welcome. Let's hope the next IE8 beta release is better!
