You deserve a better answer. It has to do with the screen resolution  
an individual has chosen, and what font size is comfortably readable  
on the screen. I have a 17" 1280x1024 LCD monitor, and with my  
resolution set at the nominal size, a lower case letter at 10pt is  
~2mm higher (7 pixels). Reset my resolution for 640x480, and the  
presentation of that same letter has doubled in size. So if a person  
who has their own reasons for setting monitor resolution at 640x480  
(or something less than their monitor's nominal size), their 10pt  
character may be perfectly readable to them, being roughly the same  
size and readability as someone else's 12 pt at nominal resolution.  
But their emails sent out at 10pt may seem like the fine print at the  
end of a legal contract, when viewed by someone with a monitor at  
nominal resolution.

Personally, I like 1280x1024, still grieving as I am for a 21" CRT  
which bit the dust in Fall of '04. That's a big enough desktop for me  
to spread all my papers around on, and still make out 10pt type  
easily. The people who set their resolution at lower than nominal are  
easy to spot.

Unless of course, there's a 'bot somewhere out on the net which  
knocks the point size of every passing email down by two points.

Mr. Bill
