Outlook modifying my IE text settings

Z

Zecarioca

I recently started using Outlook 2000 instead of Outlook Express as my mail
handler. Every time I launch Outlook, it changes the View/Text/ settings on
Internet Explorer from Largest to Medium. Any thoughts on how I can stop
this from happening? My OS is Windows XP home edition and my IE is 6.0

thanks,

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.
