Apple Script: Incoming Mail - bigger Text with Rule

Salve!

Have some Problems to create an Apple Script. At first - some Mail Accounts from Incoming Mails in Apple Mail App (Mountain Lion) are very fine with Font Size. Some Mail looks like Font Size 6 in the Inbox. Ok, i can size the Font higher with CMD and + ... but it is manual... i dont like this workaround.

So i create an new Rule in Mail App - Incoming Mail from XYZ and then start this Apple Script XYZ...

But i am an beginer with Apple Script and it will not work. Can you please help me? I will start the Script with Apple Rule. And the Script must formated the new incomming Mail with Font Size 12 (or 14... or... Number is only one Number)...

Can you help me please?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

Is there some reason why setting the font and font size in Mail's preferences doesn't work? that would seem to be the obvious step to take.

That`s wright... but the Problem is - when i switch in Preferences the Font - for Example - to Arial an Size 16 ... then i will see all Mails Size higher... but the Problem is - when i write an new Email - i write also the Email in Arial 16 ...

I will SHOW only the Email Size higher (frome some Senders) - but i will write the Email in normal Size...

Launch Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app and see if the undocumented defaults setting defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 12 (that's mentioned here) works for you. That example sets the minimum font size to 12. You might need to restart mail after the change; I haven't used this setting in a while.
