Mike:  I use that for message.  Problem is, the configuration settings 
to enlarge the mail gui font sizes, so I can see the text in the windows 
when the app is launched.  There's a window that lists messages in 
inbox, and can't see print (looks like 6 or 8 pt font).  Also, would 
like the window that shows message highlighted to start with something 
bigger than the 6 or 8 pt font size.
