Lockergnomie Pat Pluto figured out a workaround for the fixed- width font 'problems' that some of you have been having. Actually, I should say, those of you with Microsoft e-mail clients (or Web browsers); Netscape users shouldn't have the problem. This fix is universal - applying to every HTML newsletter and Web site you encounter. Open up Internet Explorer, select Tools from the menu, then Internet Options, then press the Accessibility button. At that point, you can choose to ignore the font sizes specified on Web pages. This also applies to your e-mail if you use a Microsoft e-mail client. This should keep EVERYONE happy; you're in control again. And you know, at times, site frames can be useful, but when they don't clear themselves from your browser when you click on "outside" links, they become annoying. So, next time this happens in IE, simply click (and hold) a link, then drag & drop it onto the address line of your browser. Voila - no more frames! You may also drag & drop links into folders or onto your Desktop; it's a link's greatest adventure.
