Default How do I change the default font for incoming mail messages?

This is just what FoFo had (although he mistakenly put "Arrange By" in the
string of commands; it doesn't belong there). What I, and, I think, most of
the folks having problems here are after is a way to increase the size of the
font INSIDE THE MESSAGE ITSELF. I know that a couple of MVPs have said that
the user sets this, but I think that there should be an option to set the
text within messages either at a recipient-defined optimal or at a minimum
size.

I helped someone at my office with a similar problem-- high resolution
monitor made the text/font size very small in the column that lists the
messages in your inbox. I played with Outlook for a long time trying to
help, and I found a way to fix it for Outlook 2003.

On the left side ("Navigation Pane"), single-click "Inbox" single-click
any email Up top on the "Menu Bar" click "View" Click "Arrange By"
Click "Current View" Click "Customize Current View" On the pop-up, click
"Other Settings" Click "Row Font" Select any font, style, and size you
want!

Hope this helps--I worked hard to figure it out!

The instructions are correct for Outlook 2003 as the Current View menu is in
the Arrange By menu there.

There are a couple of ways to alter the size of the message text when
reading as well.
