I started looking for instructions on how to do this before I noticed the following: >Incidentally, I have already upped the default text size in my mailer so >this should be better in future from *me*, but I've noticed this same >behavior from others, as well, so if you want to protect your eyes, you >might want to look at one of these other alternatives. > >Majikjon > > > It worked. I read your message nicely. >(Who would be using Thunderbird at work if he had any choice... ;-) ) > > I use Thunderbird at work for my home e-mail, but use Outlook exchange server for my work e-mail. The exchange server has a few advantages: 1. E-mail is kept on the exchange server, so I can access already read messages using the web. I can only access unread messages on my provider's server. 2. Outlook's calendar is integrated well - Mozilla's Thunderbird isn't. 3. Various address lists are available. Quoting is mixed. In the new version of Outlook, I can get an HTML message, try to reply, but can't get rid of the quote line to add my own message. I sometimes give up , cut and paste the header fields, and start a new message. But Thunderbird's quoting also is bad, in that I can't select some text, hit reply, and then find only the selected text quoted. I've thought about using one of my newsreaders, which do this better - but e-mail is important enough that I want a common standard, separate from news, that will allow me to retrieve important saved messages from backups to my next computer.
