Question

Can I enlarge small font in Mail?

May 7, 2012 11:58PM PDT

Is there a way to permanently enlarge the small font that my Mail delivers? I know I can do it with the "Command and plus" sign, but being the lazy woman that I am, I'd like to open my mail and read all of them in the same size without doing that. Thanks,

Old Granny Lola

Go back to Mail Preferences and choose Fonts & Colors
On the line that says Message font: click the Select button
Another window will open and allow you to choose the font size. Pick one you like and then just close off Preferences.

Easy when you know how

I have the font size set at 18 point in all three places, but it looks more like 10 or 12 point. I will try a different font.

Thanks, OGL
