For some reason, every once in a while.....maybe several times a week, the
text size in the view menu on the browser changes to medium. I want it to
stay at "Larger." How can I default the settings ti stabilize this problem?

Thanks,

Marcus

For HTML-formatted mails? If so, go into Internet Explorer, View -> Text
menu. Something has to render the HTML document, and IE is used for that.

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.

And you couldn't find the menu described in my earlier post when you were
told to navigate through IE's menus?
 
I change the setting in view to "larger" but it occasionally defaults to
medium. This has no bearing on OE e-Mail

Ah, so you did find the menu in IE to change font size. If it is getting
changed then it appears you are visiting sites that change the font setting.
Did you complain to the webmasters at those sites? Did you install any
add-ons to IE? Until then, and if you cannot survive without visiting those
rude sites, you could disable Javascript in IE or put the rude sites in the
Restricted Sites security zone (at its default High level) which disables
Javascript.
 
What will disabling java script result in? I imagine it will knock out
access to certain Active X functions?

You're right. I don't know. That's why I asked. Let me pose the question it
another way. How is disabling Java script going to affect the PRACTICAL use
of IE?

You don't know what are Javascript and ActiveX, so stop equating objects for
which you have no knowledge.

That depends entirely on the sites that you visit and how much Javascript
they incorporate into the pages to present whatever functionality, behavior,
or content that they want to show. Disabling Javascript does nothing to
prevent IE from working. It may, however, prevent the site from "working".
If a site depends on Javascript for its pages to be presented properly, they
should check. If you have Javascript disabled, they present a page noting
that you must have it enabled for their site to function. So it is your
choice whether you enable Javascript or not depending on whether you care
about using that site. You could disable Javascript in the Internet
security zone and list all your "good" sites in the Trusted Sites zone where
Javascript is enabled. You'll probably trust your bank's site but do you
really want to trust every joker that wants to use Javascript on their site?
Depends on how paranoid you are and just exactly where you decide to go
browsing.
 
thanks!
