Text size changes

[mitch]

I cannot get IE6 text to stay "medium." Sometimes it is,
but at other times, text comes out "smaller." I change it
to "medium" (View, Text Size, Medium) but that's not
permanent. How can I keep it to the last size chosen?
Thanks!

I just fixed the same problem by removing a spyware
program on my computer - everything has reset itself back
to normal text/font size. Go to the Add/Remove programs
and delete the spyware programs that may be there. good
luck!

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.

Thank you! I am indeed a Eudora user (v.5.1) and your
suggestion seems to have fixed the problem.

I think you misread the original problem. I have the same
one, with 4 different installations of IE6, using 3
different OSs. The Text Size settings selected from View--
Text Size-- NEVER stick. In my case (despite approaching
60) I use a large-screen CRT and want to have "SMALLEST"
as my default setting. I can (in one session of IE6)
select SMALLEST and it will remain set as long as the IE
instance is running, but does NOT "stick" when I open
another window, or close the first window then open
again. This has NOTHING to do with e-mail, just the
browser! The problem is the same on machines with Outlook
as the e-mail client, or Outlook Express.

If I misread it, how do you explain that my answer fixed Mitch's
problem?
....and has fixed several hundred with the same problem over the last
four years?

It has EVERYTHING to do with email programs changing it.
