Thanks for the responses.

For the font in question, I think I managed not to mix controlling it with ems and %s – ems are used elsewhere for the template’s standard font.

Even when I set font with just a fixed px size (e.g. 16px), the font seemed to be different sizes on mac and pc machines, even when using firefox for a browser on both machines (on my pc machine, firefox had imported my IE settings, on my mac machine, firefox had likely imported safari settings – but all had default text size of 16). I’m a little confused if that is normal or not. Is it?

I eventually gave up trying to “fix” the inconsistency, and chose a font where the difference in size was minimal (but not zero) – Times New Roman. I’ll probably just stick with that unless someone has a suggestion. Thanks again.

Oh sorry, I haven’t explained properly.

The email account that the website uses as the post address is not a gmail account. But the email account that I am sending the emails from is a gmail account.

Hence my problem. This whole post by email thing isn’t convenient if I have to switch email services and addresses to use it.
