Does anyone know why messages such as this one arrive with a type so tiny that it's almost impossible to read? You may say well, it's your problem and so it is, but there has to be another answer. I thought I had my mail client (Apple Mail) set to avoid these problems.

True. The almond in a shell is a fruit. The Almond unshelled is I don't
know what it is called. The seed is at the center. under common usage it is
called a nut and that is what section of the grocery store has it in.
Many things are mis-labeled in our culture. A tomato is also a fruit but we
know it as a vegetable.
There was a tax on vegetables in the ~1850'-1860's and this grocer refused
to pay the tax. Case went all the way to the US Supreme Court which ruled in
1857 (i may be off the date by a decade or two) that the tomato was a vegetable
for tax purposes. So tomatoes are called vegetable today even though
biologically they are fruits just like almonds in a
shells.
