Schaff Piano price list

[John Ross]

Hi Barbara,
This message from you, showed up, as all the same. No variation in size.
When I type the messages, everything looks the same size. So it is 
interesting you say, that the signature, gets transmitted, in a 
different font.
I must go and redo the automatic signature, with my settings the same, 
as I am using.
I format I send in is plain.
Thank you.
