It seems clear to me that exceeding a specified line height will always result in either zero or negative leading (depending on to what the line height property is applied). Combined with the ability of users to override font sizes, this is why you should almost never specify absolute line heights. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
