Mac Mail "zoom" like Pages zoom?

Is there a command in Mac Mail that will zoom one email at a time (not a system zoom like option-command-+/-) like the zoom command in Pages? The zoom command in Pages lives in the upper left hand menu bar of any document, and allows you to shrink or zoom a document by percentages.


The option-command - +/- key combination expands or shrinks system-wide.

Mail has no inherent zoom tool, but one can select View menu > Customize Toolbar… and drag/drop the following tool onto the Toolbar. Thus, by double-clicking the Bigger button, it will enlarge the viewed Mail content.



This gives you a clickable alternative to the ⌘-key +, ⌘-key -, and ⌘-key 0 (zero) shortcuts.

I don't understand what you mean by "system-wide".

If I have several messages open in Mail, even in the same "Conversation", Command-plus or Command-minus only change the text size of the one in focus.
