Rich, I think you need to adjust it on your own computer.
Maybe you should request BESB provide you JAWS or Window Eyes and some retraining if your vision is getting so bad.

Braille might be helpful too if you are open to it.

Peace, my friend.

      Dear friends if it's at all possible in the future please try to make your e-mail messages bold when you send them the size of the font is fine, but unfortunately because my vision is getting worse I can't read the messages unless they're darker.

      Thanks

      Rich

        2012 National Disability Policy Discussions
        Education, Employment, and the Civil Rights of
        People with Disabilities

        "Ensuring Our Voices Are Heard in the Policy Discussion"

        The National Federation of the Blind will be hosting policy discussions on
        the education, employment, and civil rights of people with disabilities
        during the upcoming Republican and Democratic national conventions.  Public
        policies and laws affecting people with disabilities have a profound impact
        throughout our entire society.  Most people know someone who has a
        disability.  It may be a friend, a family member, or a coworker.  Many
        others will experience disability at some point in their lives, especially
        as life expectancy increases.  The social and economic consequences of
        disability therefore have some impact on all of us.  Our nation's potential
        policy leaders will be determined through the political process taking place
        at these conventions, and we want to ensure that they are aware of our
        policy concerns.

        Individuals who would like to participate on a policy panel should contact
        Anil Lewis at Alewis at nfb.org<mailto:Alewis at nfb.org> or (410) 659-9314,
        extension 2374.

        Limited seating is available.  Individuals wishing to attend either of these
        events should RSVP as soon as possible by emailing
        AHammerbacher at nfb.org<mailto:AHammerbacher at nfb.org>.

        The location, date, and time of each forum are as follows:

        Republican National Convention
        Armani's at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay
        2900 Bayport Drive, Tampa, FL 33607
        Tuesday, August 28, 2012
        6 p.m.-8 p.m.

        Democratic National Convention
        Charlotte City Club
        121 West Trade Street# 3100, Charlotte, NC 28202
        Wednesday, September 5, 2012
        3 p.m.-5 p.m.

        At this pivotal moment, when the policy leaders of this great nation are
        being determined, it is essential that our voices are being heard.  If you
        are attending either convention, you should be attending the National
        Disability Policy Discussions.
