Using HTML, which is what I’m using, one is able to use all kinds of different fonts. I am sending this in Arial 10 pt which is my default choice. It is a variable width, meaning the “I” takes up less space than the “H”. I prefer sending and receiving in HTML. It allows me to express myself more and also allows me to embed pictures in my text.
