A NAFEXER has solved the mystery of the tiny fonts. Those messages 
are being sent in HTML despite the instruction (below) to send in 
plain text.  HTML messages are more than twice as large as plain text 
messages, and require extra  archives space without giving any 
benefits.  Usually recipients won't see all the extra, so I'll 
explain what an HTML message really is. First there will be a text 
message, the part you see.  Then that message is repeated with the 
addition of all the HTML instructions regarding font, size, colour, 
arrangement etc.
