font size won't stick in IE6 - XP SP2

What is the proper way to change the font size so that it will also be that
size after you close and restart IE. I have changed to the desired size and
closed IE while pressing Shift, Control, and Shift + Control, one of which I
thought should work but apparently not. It keeps wanting to revert to a much
larger font size than I desire after shutting down and restarting.

thanks for any feedback.
 
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.
