Ah, quite the deduction.
Font changing -> This guy got a braindead HTML-izing client like Outlook
Exploder and furthermore, didn't subsequently turn off the HTML -> Newbie
with Microsoft software -> Newbie mistakes and Microsoft bugs -> These
probably were responsible for the multiple posting since newbies often

instantly, and Microsoft software often screws up in any manner you can
imagine and then a few, totally surprising ways as well. :-)
