It has zero effect on the message body Bill. Header display above the msg 
window responds, but the message body is ANAICT, fixed at an unknown 
font about 2 points too small.  Its supposed to be Hack bold 14, a nice 
size for these old eyes, but I think its one of the serif's at 11 or 12 
points. Of possible note, I do have the size scaled down according to 
the quoting level, and have not turned that off to see if it effects the 
main msg body. It shouldn't, but I'd be a fool to say that Ingo Klockers 
code was 100% clean since we all know better.

My code isn't textbook "clean" either, but some of it has been running 
here 24/7/365 since 2002, and doing exactly what I wrote it to do. 
Stability seems worth more than clean in this camp. :)
