Ralph, Here's another suggestion, rather than deleting the message. It requires a bit more work on your part, but isn't too onerous:
1. Highlight all of the text in a message (Often this can be done by hitting Ctrl-A). 2. Copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl-C or Edit - Copy or Right-click - Copy or hit the Copy button) 3. Open your Word Processor (you don't need to close your e-mail program) 4. Paste the text into the empty word processing document (Ctrl-V or Edit - paste or Right-click - paste or hit the Paste button) You can then change the font as you would like to make it more readable. ~Alan Klein ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph Copleman" <[email protected]> > The past few month, it seems to me, more people on the List are using a > typeface (or font) in their e-mail postings that I find very difficult to > read.
