<DIV>You deserve a better answer. It has to do with the screen resolution an
individual has chosen, and what font size is comfortably readable on the
screen. I have a 17" 1280x1024 LCD monitor, and with my resolution set at the
nominal size, a lower case letter at 10pt is ~2mm higher (7 pixels). Reset my
resolution for 640x480, and the presentation of that same letter has doubled
in size. So if a person who has their own reasons for setting monitor
resolution at 640x480 (or something less than their monitor's nominal size),
their 10pt character may be perfectly readable to them, being roughly the same
size and readability as someone else's 12 pt at nominal resolution. But their
emails sent out at 10pt may seem like the fine print at the end of a legal
contract, when viewed by someone with a monitor at nominal resolution.</DIV>

<DIV>Personally, I like 1280x1024, still grieving as I am for a 21" CRT which
bit the dust in Fall of '04. That's a big enough desktop for me to spread all
my papers around on, and still make out 10pt type easily. The people who set
their resolution at lower than nominal are easy to spot.</DIV>

<DIV>Unless of course, there's a 'bot somewhere out on the net which knocks
the point size of every passing email down by two points. </DIV><BR>
