I apologise for this off-topic posting. However, it seems that some list
members may benefit from certain Windows facilities which can assist
visually impaired users.
1. OUTLOOK EXPRESS
Outlook Express allows the user to set the font type and font size of
incoming mail, without affecting your outgoing mail format. Set the menu
options as follows.
>From the Outlook Express main screen:

Tools > Options > Read > Fonts
Set the Proportional Font Type -- Arial works well
Set the Fixed-width Font Type -- Lucida Console works well
Set the Font Size -- Your choice
All incoming mail will be displayed according to these settings,
irrespective of the font type or font size used by the sender.
2. WINDOWS CONTRAST
Windows can assist visually impaired users by applying high-contrast
settings to the display. Apply the settings as follows.
>From the task bar:

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Accessibility Options > Display
Set the desired contrast and other parameters. These settings will be
applied to all the functions of Windows.
3. WINDOWS DISPLAY APPEARANCE
Windows also has different desktop schemes where the font size of the
Windows interface can be changed.
>From the task bar:

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display
Select different Schemes, such as Windows Standard, Windows Standard Large
or Windows Standard Extra Large, to alter the font size between various
windows, menus and interfaces.
It is true that text in all capitals is more difficult to read and several
references by other list members were made to support this fact. Perhaps
the use of all capitals will no longer be necessary with the application of
these Windows facilities. I am sure that other operating systems and email
software offer similar facilities.
Note the use of capitals in this text. This plain text message does not
offer underlining or bolding and capitals only serve to highlight my subject
headings.
