Hi,

Mail App.

Menu Bar and App Name.

Preferences.

Fonts and Colors to make permanent size changes.

In Messages it is in the General Pane.

In Firefox it is in Preferences which opens a "Page" in the App and it is in the General section.

Humm,

I thought it did that.

However I found it changes the List of incoming items as one option.

The second option changes the Header info.

I cannot find anything that changes the shown Message content at all.

As you say the Menu Bar > Format Menu and CMD and the + key increases the size but only one email message at a time.

I am using Classic View and have not tried other layouts.

Thanks!

The font and colors changes affect the size of teh message I send. I am looking for changes just to the display at my end (I have old eyes, not nec the recipients). The menu bar addition of big/small letters is helpful, but it has to be done each time. How can I make all my messages default to larger display in mail?

Thanks.
