If there's a newgroup for this subject, please point me to it...
Is it possible to set the font size of the body of the text?

First ditch CDONTS (its deprecated) and use CDOSYS instead. Here is an
exampel of sending an
email with CDOSYS:-

Const cdoSendUsingMethod =
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"
Const cdoSMTPServer =
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"
Const cdoSMTPServerPickupDirectory =
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverpickupdirectory"
Const cdoSMTPServerPort =
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport"

Const cdoSendUsingPickup = 1
Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2

Dim oMsg : Set oMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Dim oConfig : Set oConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

With oConfig.Fields
.Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "mysmtp.myserver.com"
.Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 25
.Update
End With

oMsg.From = "Me <>"
oMsg.To = "Bloke <>"
oMsg.Subject = "Test"
oMsg.HTMLBody = "<html><body style="font-size:14pt">Hello
World</body></html>"
Set oMsg.Configuration = oConfig

oMsg.Send

Note the HTMLBody uses a style that defines the font size.

Of course this assumes you aren't asking how to make the size of font in a
plain text message the bigger. The answer to that would be; you can't use a
HTMLBody instead.

A goof in that, Anthony:

oMsg.HTMLBody = "<html><body style="font-size:14pt">Hello
World</body></html>"

Ummm...that NEEDS to be

oMsg.HTMLBody = "<html><body style=""font-size:14pt"">Hello
World</body></html>"

Doubled quotes to embed them, of course.

Thanks, would I need to get my hosting service to do any configuration
change to accept CDOSYS?

If your hoster is using Win 2k or above, then no. CDO became the default
mailing component from Win 2k. In fact, you are more likely to have
problems getting them to set up CDONTS.

I already have CDONTS working with my host's server. I was just trying to
figure out how change the font size in CDONTS. If I switch to CDOSYS, do I
need to build in those 6 Const lines?

Oh, well, then it's easy: But you can *ONLY* specify font size *IF* you
sent HTML Email. You can't do it if you are sending plain text email.

So if your courrent mail body looks something like:
mail.body = "Hello, " & name & vbNewLine _
& "Thanks for your inquiry." & vbNewLine _
& "We'll get back to you ASAP."

You'll need to start using HTML line breaks, etc, in place of just the
newlines (or CRLF or whatever you are using), and *TELL* CDONTS that you are
using HTML, thus:

mail.MailFormat = 0 ' specifies HTML
mail.BodyFormat = 0 ' ditto
mail.body = "Hello, " & name & "<p>" & vbNewLine _
& "Thanks for your inquiry.<br/>" & vbNewLine _
& "We'll get back to you ASAP.<p>"

Oooops. Nothing is so easy that it doesn't need testing.

In what way did it fail?

Are you using the identifiers such as cdoSendUsingMethod without defining
them (this is possible in some circumstances)?

OR

Does your original code not manipulate the configuration object at all
(again in some circumstances the ISP can ensure the configuration object is
already set up).

I, too, would like to know more about those const lines.

Having just re-written our email routines, I found that including them
caused the mail to fail. CDOSYS works fine without them. I suspect this is
an ISP-specific issue, but don't know for sure.
