How to zoom in Mac Mail?

When I double-click and open a message in Mail, I know how to do Command-Shift-+ to zoom in on (make larger) the text in the message.


But when I click Compose to start a new message, Command-Shift-+ does not work. Is there a way to zoom in on text when creating a new message?


Thanks

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Then you'll have to activate the zoom feature of OS X in the System/Accessability preference pane:

You can set it up however you want. Remember it will active throughout the entire system and every app.
