Problem

The default plain text that's printed with GroupWise 7.0.1 is smaller than the plain text printed with GroupWise 6.5.x.

Solution

To increase the font size, just add the following registry key for all GroupWise users who view and compose mails in GroupWise 7.0.1:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell\GroupWise\Client\Setup]
"PlainTextComposeFontSize"=dword:0000000a

After that, every created mail would print in font size 10 (0000000a). You can change this if you set another hex value, such as 0000000c. I thing this is a good workaround until the next version of GW comes out!

Example

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell\GroupWise\Client\Setup]
"PlainTextComposeFontSize"=dword:0000000a

Environment

Windows XP, GroupWise 7.0.1

• It did change the font size but when sending e-mails to others, the recepient will see no text in the message body.
