Here’s another experiment. By copying, pasting, copy and pasting via Word, I am
trying to send this out in Arial 12pt (which is not an option within the
Gmail). But I don’t know what this will do to quoted text that is indented or
so.</span></p>

there is a button next to the formatting info that says "Plain text".<br>

So am I, Polly. But my 24" cinema display is 85 cm from my eyes, and Apple
Mail does not let me arbitrarily increase point size of incoming HTML mail.<br>

Do we get a lot of Yiddish here? And special character failure should be a
client problem. If you are sending out UTF-8 (and you should be) then<br>

<span style="color: blue;">In the Gmail compose mode there is a button next to
the formatting info that says "Plain text".<br style="">

</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I was talking about 12pt not
being an option. The plain text option does exist in <i>composing</i>, and I had
said this earlier:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: blue;">As for plain text, the upshot of earlier discussions on this was
that most people prefer to have formatting capabilities, such as bolding,
italicizing and indenting, also the use of colors.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The plain text option exists
at the archives, as I said: </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Anyway, it looks as though the
copying-pasting 12pt thing works. But quoted text marking disappears unless it uses
