B   I installed it when it was version 3.xxx something and have been 
letting it update itself ever since.  Up until the update from 12 to 13 
there was never a problem.

I have fixed the email sending problem.  After the upgrade the smtp port 
was somehow changed.  After fixing that sending email was no problem.  I 
still have the font size problem. Some messages display with a really 
small font, others are normal and some seem larger than I am used to. 
This happens despite my having set  the minimum font size on the fonts & 
encodings page .
