Recent update affected IE6

A recent update seems to affected IE6 to the point that I cannot get Internet
Explorer to retain my preferred text size (medium). It always launches in
"small" and even if I change it to "medium" when I relaunch IE, it reverts to
"Small". Any ideas on how to fix this? It's driving me crazy and makes me
want to switch browsers all together.

Thanks.

If IE-View-Text Size does not stick....

---solution 1
If you are using Eudora 4.2 or greater then use Tools-Options-Viewing
Mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft's viewer"
It is Eudora that is setting the IE text size and unchecking that
option will stop it.

The key that Eudora 4.x will change is this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

---solution 2
In Outlook 2000-2003 go to Tools/Options/Mail
Format/Fonts/International Fonts, and for each font
change the "Font Size" entry to your desired size.
