Any AOL with Vista users here?? Font problem.

On a new Vista machine with AOL 9.0 and later 9.1
All (except AOL) fonts are fine.
Notepad, Browsers, Worpad, MS Works programs, MS
Mail, and even "writE" amil in AOL have proper fonts.
But, in AOL, the fonts in incoming e-mail and names on the
"buddies"list are so small they are essentially unreadablle.
If I "copy" and incoming e-mail and paste it elsewhere
the fonts appear at the proper size.
Any ideas on how to rectify this apparent AOL/Vista
conflict?
AOL's brilliant suggestion was to set the resolution on
the 21" flat screen to 640x480! How's that for help
Thanks for any help --- I've found none on the AOL
groups either.

Try using Window Live Mail

AOL hads a much nicer e-mail client that outlook express.

Not that I'm defending someone telling you to use Windows Live Mail if you
are comfortable with your current AOL client, but Windows Live Mail is NOT
Outlook Express. There is no Outlook Express for Vista.

Call it what you want, but it's a drastically changed application and it's
not called Outlook Express. The least we can do on these newsgroups is try
to speak accurately about software and issues to eliminate confusion and
find solutions to our problems.

I was paraphrasing "PC Magazne" which noted that MSWhatever, it
still is not nearly as nice as an e-mail client as AOL -- especially
since AOL is my e-mail sewrvice provider While I can read AOL mail on
MS mail the "recently deleted" and "old mail" box contents aren't
handles well.

But whatever --- non of these interchanges have to do with my
original question!

Big deal, they renamed it. Still works about the same.

Actually quite a bit different from Outlook Express. All I'm saying is when
you are seeking support or giving support on a newsgroup it is confusing
when someone identifies a feature from a previous version of Windows while
discussing a current version of Windows. Of course many seem to visit this
newsgroup just to bitch.
