I'm setting up a new mac for a family member who has a bit of a problem viewing the incoming font for new messages, though everything else on the mac is fine with its current resolution and settings, its just they would like to change the Messages Font to size 18.
This is not for composing, or the message list view, but the actual Email itself.
Any ideas?
thank you!
You can set that in the Fonts & Colors part of Mail Preferences, under Messages. Incoming and Outgoing messages get that (default) font choice. The font of an outgoing message can then be adjusted as needed using the Font panel which is available at the top of a composition window.

It only adjusts the Headers
On my machine it adjusts the font for the text in the body of the message, at least for the several I experimented with.
I can imagine, however, that certain messages (e.g., HTML email) might force a non-default font.
In any case, you can adjust the font size of any message with command= and command- . Or you can add a font-sizing button to the toolbar via "Customize toolbar..." in the View menu.

Thanks. Yeah Command + has been working, I suppose I was just trying to one size fits all this sitation.
I will give it another try here and see how it goes.
