How come text from Entourage appears so large when I send it to my friends using Windows?
It has to do with the way that monitors connected to Windows systems display images. Windows displays the screen picture at 96 dpi, while the Mac displays the screen picture at 72 dpi. Because of this, messages that look normally sized on the Windows computer will be small on the Macintosh. On the other hand, messages that look normally-sized on the Macintosh are magnified when they are shown on Windows displays. You’re best bet to get around this is to send your messages in plain text (make sure the Format -> HTML option is unchecked). What the PC user sees then only depends on his/her settings to display plain text messages. Alternatively, you can change the font size to “Smaller” before sending so that the messages appear at a more reasonable size on the receiving end. 4a) When I receive mail from usually from a Window’s user, it’s so small I can hardly read it. There are rules that can make fonts larger.
