The root of your problem has already been explained: either stop using Microsoft Outlook Express, or search for a way to override its text resizing bug. A few seconds of googling brought me to http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/questions/101-327804 - give it a shot. It's your email client that's at fault. Senders aren't actively adding stuff to emails that block the resizing...it's outdated/buggy software you're using that is incapable of handling standard HTML embedded in emails.
