Fonts Too Small in Apple Mail?September 9, 2008

Do HTML messages sent from Outlook users appear too tiny in your Apple Mail inbox? You can use the following trick to force Mail to always use a larger minimum font size on received messages - some HTML messages might not look exactly as intended but at least you can now read them.

  1. Quit Mail
  2. Open the Terminal and type in the following:
    defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 12
  3. Restart Mail.app and your HTML messages are readable.

Of course, you can set the point size to whatever you like.
