Font size in emails

[Khandro]

For economical printing, is it possible to reduce the size of the font in a received email please?

Copy and paste into a Word document then reduce.

Change your email setting from "HTML" to "Plain text".

Then all text will appear as plain text without fonts, colours etc.

Thanks, under; tools-options-read- I have checked 'read all messages in plain text'. Is that correct? It seems to be so. Are there any disadvantages to this please?

Not a lot of advantage changing the text to 'plain' unless the original text is in large or bold print, or has images embedded.

Easier to go with mike1111's suggestion, methinks.

The disadvantages with "plain text" is that if a company sends you a "rich text" (HTML) email with colours, fonts, graphics etc you will only see it as plain text.

These "rich text" emails are the sort of ones you get every month from retailers such as Tesco, Nectar, Amazon etc.

Personally I would copy and paste the text into notepad or some other basic word processor and print it from there.

I reversed back, then using 'select all' and pasting the text into notepad it all now seems to work as you suggested. Thanks!

If you are using Outlook Express and Internet Explorer then you can alter the size of the print produced by Outlook Express by going to VIEW in Internet Explorer and then altering the text size.
