I `ve had this problem for a while now and cannot find a solution.
I like to set my font `text size` to `Smaller`in the IE6 View menu,
but it will freqeuently change to `Medium` all on its own.
How can I stop this happening? Is it a registry problem perhaps
and would `regedit` help if the font size can actually be set via the
Windows XP registry?
Many thanks for any help.

No, you don't need to set it via the Registry and it is a problem with
some email applications.

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.
