I have not tried but cascading style sheet tags should work too? instead of the <font> tag which is an evil and not supported on a common ground across all browers (ie: <Font size="+1"> will not look the same size in Netscape as it does in IE, and cross OS is worse. Try <span style="font-size: 28px;>Bigger</span> will look like this: (if it works Bigger will look really close to the same across all browser types. A lot of fun things can be done with CSS with better results in the end.

Or dumb little things like getting rid of underlines on URLs in your messages, and changing color and font in one command ;) Revisit Voy.com Home Page
