Hey, Fred -

As I've mentioned several times privately, the headers in
your messages look like this:

         [...]
 MIME-Version: 1.0
 Content-Type: text/plain;
   charset="utf-8"
 Content-Disposition: inline
 Message-Id: <200601302053.23634.puissante at lrc.puissante.com>
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
 X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit
   by rogue.codemeta.com id k0V1rRF10736
         [...]


...and I don't know if anybody else is having trouble,
but my mailer (EXMH) seems to conclude that the only
suitable font is one which is basically unreadably small,
some 2-point typeface or something.  Now, I understand that
it can be argued that my mailer is hosed, but it could also
be argued that it's weird and unconventional for your mailer
to be specifying your messages as requiring a UTF-8 font.
Could you maybe not do that?    Please...?      Thanks.
