Re: Mail text size
Hi People who have been following this subject, We have exhausted every way of making Mail Text larger, but please bear with me just for one last response. I have been annoyed for years with incoming mail from Windows Users showing much smaller than other incoming mail. I actually get annoyed that Windows Users even email me… (only kidding Wendy at work, who uses a Mac in her ‘Real Life' ;-)) Well, today I was determined to solve this annoying problem, and I have achieved what I set out to achieve. My eyes are not as good as they used to be, (it’s not anything to do with ‘Age’ Daniel)… it’s spending anything up to 20 hours a day working on computer screens. So I like my email font at size16… The Solution: The tiny font problem usually involves HTML mail coming from Windows users (why don’t they get a Mac to email me)! Fortunately, you can set Mail to have a minimum that it will use for HTML messages... but you have to go to the Terminal for it. 1. Quit Mail 2. Open Terminal.app 3. Copy Paste in the following command: defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 16 Note that you can use any size you like, it does not have to be 16. For eyes that can see well, probably 12. If you don't like it, run the command again with a different number.

You’re welcome Pete, I understand, it has annoyed me for a long time.

Re: Mail text size
Or, in Mail (and Safari). Go to View menu, Choose Customise Toolbar... Drag in the little A big A to the menu bar. Repeat for Main Window, New Message menu and when reading an email Window. Then you will have it there all the time. If you then forget the keys for it, you can just click the Big A to make ti larger and the small A to make it smaller. Works the same in Safari too. (Though you only need do it once for the Main window). Mail lets you customise it three times, as each window is different. Just another way to have it there.

Re: Mail text size
I've been following this thread and was a little puzzled, because the command + (or command = for the pedant) worked just fine in Mail. Then I tried it again as I read through the thread (there's a case study for NLP) and it didn't work. It seems that if there is only one email in the thread, the command +/- keys work every time, making the text larger or smaller, but if reading a multi-message thread, it seems to stop working. In actual fact, in a thread of emails, there is one selected email outlined in blue to which the keystrokes are directed, regardless of which message in the thread you are currently reading. Try clicking on one message in this thread and use the keys to make the test bigger, then scroll so it is no longer visible and use the keys to make the text smaller. Nothing will happen in the visible but unselected message, however the selected message will change even though off screen. Scroll back to check. Weird, but makes sense when you think about it!

Re: Mail text size
Aha... but I was thinking it was Command + because that is what I see in the Format menu!

Re: Mail text size
Hi Bill, You are correct Bill; “Command - + “ works to make text larger So does “Command - Shift - +” works to make text larger. You might have “Command-+” set for some other keyboard sort cut perhaps?

Re: Mail text size
Actually Bill if we wish to be exact in our terminology. It should read as the keys “Command - =“ because to type “+” you depress the shift key ;-)) To type = you don’t depress any key other than = But Apple do say “Command - +” to enlarge Text?

Re: Mail text size
I have no usage for command and + that I know of. It works fine in FireFox, and used to work in Mail (I think) Bill On 10/04/2012, at 11:56 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Actually Bill if we wish to be exact in our terminology.
