Re: Inflated Font Occurring on Replies with History

Chad, we get just the opposite sometimes. The font gets smaller and 
smaller! At Lotusphere this year, someone asked the exact same question at 
GURUPalooza. I was on stage and mentioned that we see this occur as well. 
I have also called Lotus support on this in the past with no success.

At one point I created the following FAQ internally that helped back in 
the 6.0.x days, but with 6.5.x and 7.0.x I have seen that this doesn't 
work as in the past. I adapted this from a post at notes.net I think:

External recipients receive e-mail with tiny text

When a Lotus Notes user forwards or replies to an email outside the 
company sometimes the receiver will see extremely small text on the 
history portion of the message.

This is a problem with the notes default point size settings for the 
various character set groups. 

If you are brave, you can attempt to fix this yourself. If not please call 
the helpdesk at 326-6020 to report this problem.

Open your local address book (names.nsf), then find and open the 
'Advanced\International MIME Settings' view. if you don't have a 
'International MIME Settings' document in the view, create a new one. 
(there should be a 'New' button with a pulldown list of objects which can 
be created.)

If you are creating a new 'International MIME Settings': on the 'Basics' 
page, leave the 'for Locations' setting as '*' and select your primary 
character set group. for now at least, leave 'Secondary character set 
groups' blank.

On the 'Settings by Character Set' page, pull down the 'MIME settings by 
character set group' list and select your primary character set group. for 
example, if you are in the u.s. or in western europe, you should select 
'Western'.

In the 'Font Options' section of this page, change the 'Plain Text' font 
setting to 'Default Sans Serif'. (if there is no 'International MIME 
Settings' document, the default point size is '12', so you'll have to 
create one to fix this problem.)
