You may want to go to the view menu under fonts in each message and select
largest to make it easier to read.  don't know how to make this a default
for every message that comes in.  At least that's the way it is in Outlook
2002.

This message reads to be as Times Roman 12 pt bold. 
 
You can set the read font size in the  Read Tab, near the bottom.

Good question Dave. I think what happened was that I used another email as a
blank slate for my message and thus used those characteristics. I think this
message is in Verdana 10 point bolded font which is my default.
 
I thought the sender had control over email font sizes and not the reader.
Am I learning something new?
 
If so, I didn't see where in OE / Tools / Options to set it. Can you help?
 
Thanks.

Hmmm. I read yours as being 12 points Times Roman. Somehow I don't 
understand why the font size isn't dictated by your own setup in OE/Outlook.

Hi. This might sound like a strange request and suggestion to a JAWS, aka no
monitor for visualization, group but let me put on my flak jacket and
request that some of you increase the font size of your email from 8 to 10
point font non-bolded to 10-14 point font (Verdana is great) bolded for
those of us using this great information source so that it will be easier on
our low-low vision still got some central acuity eyes.

Thanks.
