Resolved question

Font size of OE

by WILKAN - 2/14/13 2:48 PM

On some of my messages I receive, the font size is so small that I can hardly read it.
Is there some way I can make it larger or is that only possible with the mail I send?

That did it! I switched to plain text and now every message comes up large enough to read.
Thank you.
Is there anything else that will change by switching?

I don't think there's a way to change it in OE.

So what I do: ctrl-A, ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard, than in MS Word ctrl-V to get it, then enlarge it from 100% to 150% or 200% to be able to read it. Since it's only on some messages it's not a big issue.

You are right, it is not a big issue, just a pain in the ***
Thanks for the reply.
