[FRIAM] WISIWYS: What I See Is What You See

[Owen Densmore]

For those of us mac users suffering HTML email sent to us on this  
list that we cannot easily read because it is rendered very tiny, it  
turns out to be a windows problem with preferring to use HTML email  
(even if you'd prefer ASCII) and having it choose tiny fonts.

Here's the story:

The solution is:
   - Quit Mail.app (this is important!)
   - Open Terminal
   - Cut/Paste into Terminal:
     defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 13
     (13 can be any size you'd like)
   - Restart Mail.app

Naturally, sending HTML for email unless truly necessary is against  
Netiquette, but apparently some mail clients make HTML the default  
and also make it difficult to turn off.  Don't know the details.
