Who changed the font and why?
Yahoo Message Number: 129517
I was dismayed yesterday to note that the nice clear reasonably readable font we had formerly has changed to one that seems much smaller and harder to read.  I now MUST get my reading glasses to read it?  Why did it change, and can we go back to the former size at least?

Pat, generally a font change happens at your end, not the sending end. For example, your message to the group is in small type (like you complained about) but nobody else's is. Could you have accidentally messed with the font size when replying to a message or writing one? You can easily change the size to anything you like for incoming (and outgoing) messages. Just check your email program for details.

Are you talking about your email? The web site? I don't see anything different here. Could your email program have changed fonts or font size? Are emails from other people changed?

Thank you for questioning the font size.
I also have been squinting to read emails.
This forced me to open options on my email and increase the font size to make it more readable.

Ok, my face is red.  Thank you all for pointing out that the problem comes at my end.  I was indeed messing in my font book, eliminating what I considered way too many fonts to scroll through, and I must have unknowingly deleted the one in which the digest arrives in my email inbox.  My computer, being all wise, apparently decided to substitute this tinier font with extra serifs.  I shall endeavor to get my settings under control before I complain to others in the future.  Thanks to you all for pointing out the error of my ways!
