I posted the following on the mail forum 3 days ago, and got no reply.

Perhaps someone here can help:

I have Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit). Here are two recurring issues I
need help with, none of which are earth shattering:

1. When setting View-> Text Size, using Western default, the text size is
too samll for my feeble eyes. Resetting the size to Largest is okay though
the setting won't stay. Merely moving from one folder or forum to another
sees the text size changing back.

2. Views Bar, though turned off will show itself at random times.


Thanks in advance for your help.

I didn't realize you were the resident hall monitor. That post yesterday was
in a XP group by mistake. Did someone take a dump in your Wheaties,
justifying your boorish reply?

No... it was in microsoft.public.mail.misc.

All of your other posts are in rec.boats.

Nope. I just love to dump on liars/fools.
 
BFD. No replies, please.

It wasn't a lie. Merely a misstatement, a common mistake. Besides, who the
hell appointed you God?

After this is sent., you're going into my bit bucket, so a reply is not
going to accomplish anything except show you to be a petty satrap.

I solved this problem for a visually impaired customer
by using Thunderbird, which is very customizable. This
is the content of userChrome.css I used to improve text:

window {
font-size: 5mm !important;
font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro Bold !important;
}



menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem {
font-family: helvetica !important;
font-style: italic !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: 4.5mm !important;
}

SH: One can adjust the size by changing the
number next to mm
