      <![CDATA[<p>I am using MS Office and wife is using Outlook Express.  Both emails are now receiving HTML emails but not converting to plain text unless we do so prior to forwarding; and then pics are deleted.  Is there a setting that has been changed that I cannot find.</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>Hi Leo,<br />
I'm trying to set up a computer for someone who is having vision problems and needs larger fonts for both sent and received email. It seems like a simple thing to do for email that is being composed and sent, but I can't seem to manage it as a default for email that has been received. I've tried in Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird. No luck. Would you have any advice?<br />
thanks,<br />
<div class="leocomment">If you're setting up a computer for someone who needs things bigger, I wouldn't focus on just one or two applications, but rather the entire system by changing the DPI setting: <a href="http://ask-leo.com/how_can_i_make_the_text_on_my_screen_larger.html">How can I make the text on my screen larger?</a><br />

Only clue:  I recently used an HTML file to establish my Signature for my email messages.  Can you help me get things back to receiving email the way the sender meant to send it?  Thank you.
