Jim,
We'll need to know the specific e-mail client you're using, but if you happen to be using Outlook Express 6, this might do it for you:
Open Outlook Express, then click on "Tools" in the upper left, choose "Options". When that loads, click on the "read" tab. When that loads, click on the "Fonts" button, then change the items you choose, including the "Font Size". When you've finished, click on the "Set as Default" button. Then click on OK, OK, etc.
Hope this helps.
