I think that a very long message would be easier to read if set in an appropriate font, using italic or bold or headers when needed. This is a good point, I think: We don't write books in Courier or Mono. But again, I don't do that. If I have a really long thing, I'll do something else with it, probably PDF. I also don't read HTML, not really. I use Alpine and if someone made some word big and red, I won't see it. I usually don't care. I occasionally send the HTML attachment to Firefox from Alpine (just a click away) and read it in Firefox, but not often. Mike
