IE changes the font size back to previous size when a link or button is clicked.

[Michael Kuntscher]

I'm experiencing a problem with Internet Explorer 6 which occurs when
I change the size of the font through the View->Text Size menu on a
web page. When I then click a link or a button on the page, the font
size momentarily changes back to the previous setting before the new
page loads.

This can most easily be demonstrated by performing a search on google.
On the search results page, change the font size to something else
(say Largest) and then click on one of the search result links and
watch as that link changes size back to the previous setting before
the new page loads.

This is the issue I am having with all the text on a web page I am
writing (ASP.NET, HTML 4.01 Transitional DOCTYPE, CSS styles being
applied). This issue does not happen with any other browers (Safari,
FireFox, etc.).

Does anybody know what can cause this to occur?

Thanks,
Michael Kuntscher

If IE-View-Text Size does not stick....

---solution 1
If you are using Eudora 4.2 or greater then use Tools-Options-Viewing
Mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft's viewer"
It is Eudora that is setting the IE text size and unchecking that
option will stop it.

The key that Eudora 4.x will change is this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

---solution 2
In Outlook 2000 go to Tools/Options/Mail Format/Fonts/International
Fonts, and for each font
change the "Font Size" entry to your desired size.
