Mail font size has become too small

Hi,
The font size in my mail is too small and changing preference size numbers has no effect.
Umm. Ever heard of that?
What should I do?
Garrett

Are you talking about the font size for received messages?
If so, this is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition.
Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
With such a message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and all text will be converted to your chosen Message Font and size selected at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
There is also a Terminal command available that automatically converts message text composed in HTML to Plain Text for all received messages.
Sorry if you are referring to something else.

  • Font size in email too small

    All of a sudden the font size in the email app is small. It's as if each mail has been zoomed out. I upgraded to iOS 4.2 a few days ago, but this just started happening today. It is not dictated by the setting for minimum font size. I have never changed that setting and it's set to medium.
    If I reboot the phone, the font size goes back to normal for awhile, but then gets small again. Any ideas?

    Well, when it is happening it happens to all emails in the email app. The behavior is very strange. Again, it's as if all the emails are zoomed out. The only way to fix it that I can see is to hold the power button down and reboot the phone. When it comes back up it's normal....for awhile. I haven't figured out what triggers the behavior.

  • Dreamweaver CS6: font size in menus too small on 1920 x 1080 screen. [was: Dreamweaver]

    Hi,
    I am using adobe Dreamweaver cs6 and my Laptop screen size 15.5 (39.4 cms) wide (1920 x 1080). My Dreamweaver software top tab menus like File, Edit, View, Insert, Modify, Format etc. these are menus font size too small in my laptop display so i am facing problem in development. I have try to resolve this issue through change to desktop resolution but after change the resolution of window property i have get only little bit change in font size of tab menus but i am not satisfied with this change if you have any other solution for this problem please reply me or email me on [personal information deleted by moderator]
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, the only way to change the font size in the Dreamweaver interface is by changing the display settings of your computer. On Windows, you can change the size of text and other items without changing the resolution by selecting Start > Control Panel > Display. I don't think there is an equivalent on a Mac.
    If you find the size of the menu items a problem, I suggest that you submit a feature request through the form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

  • How to fix font size that is too small to read on each new page

    At Windows XP suggestion, screen resolution is set at 1280 x 1024 in Display Properties. Large fonts and large icons are selected. "Type" size on every new screen that comes up is so small that I can't read it without +++ to zoom in. Seems especially severe on web sites but email and regular applications (word perfect in particular) are also presenting such small font size that reading is very difficult without zooming in on every new page.
    What setting(s) adjustments am I missing?
    Or should I just disregard 1280 x 1024 suggestion and cut those numbers down?

    hey there steffvl & welcome to Discussions,
    it sounds as though you may have accidentally placed one of your movies into a Drop Zone... is the time shown for your Menu the the same as one of your movies? depending on the theme, some Drop Zones are hard to differentiate from the part of the Menu Page where you can drop/place movies. take a look @ the Map View for any alert warning symbols in the Menu Thumbnail. if you have dropped a movie into a Drop Zone, just place something else in there & then drag your movie to where it should be on the Menu. i hope it's something this simple.
    good luck.

  • The display on my screen has become too big.  I've tried adjusting the screen size and the zoom isn't set.  Can anyone help?

    I have an iMAC 7.1 running OS X  10.6.8.
    The display has become too big for the screen.  I've looked at the zoom and it is turned off.  I've tried adjusting the pixel setting (currently 1920 * 1200) to no effect.
    The bar at the top of the screen is elongated, and I can't see the time in the top right hand corner.
    This is affecting everything I lookmat, the dock in the bottom doesn't show until I bring the mouse down (hide dock is off).
    I have no idea what caused this and I can't fix it.
    Does anyone have idea what the problem is and how to fix it?
    ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    No wheel, it's a magic mouse.
    Tried safe start.  No difference. 
    The dock and the icons are off the bottom of the screen. 
    I I have finder open and move the cursor to the right to show the time, I lose finder / file /edit from the overhead banner.
    Still no closer to solving it.

  • I am using iphone 4s ios6.1.2 ...my iphone has become too slow once i have updated from ios 5.1.1..can anyone help me to make my iphone perform batter

    i am using iphone 4s ios6.1.2 ...my iphone has become too slow once i have updated from ios 5.1.1..can anyone help me to make my iphone perform batter

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Apple Mail font size too small for father

    My father just purchased a iMac with Mountain Lion OS and a 27 inch screen.
    My father needs to be able to read the text of the AppleMail window.
    We have increased the size of the fonts to 18 to make it easy for him to see what he is typing in the email editing window, however, none of the other display fonts in AppleMail increase.
    The increase in font size is intended by Apple to provide an Accomodation to provide Equal Access for those with Sight Disabilities to the Essential Functions of use, however, this intent appears to have failed within AppleMail.
    Would a different mail reader (gmail, etc) provide this font sizing ability?
    Requested Remedy:
    Provide the ability to increase font size for all of the AppleMail display.

    'Preferences' doesn't solve the problem, since it only alters the font size of text for a single message, and doesn't alter the Mailbox Pane or Message Panes.
    The Mailbox Pane is enlarged outside Mail, using the System Preference's 'General' setting for Sidebar Icon size - this also alters sidebar text size.
    And the Message List is enlarged most easily by a Terminal command
    - it's only a single line, cut'n'paste:
    defaults write com.apple.mail RichMessageList -bool FALSE
    Then restart Mail and adjust its column sizes for the newly enlarged fonts.

  • Only my email font size has changed....it's gone smaller while everything else including ads is normal size. How do I change it back to 12 pt type?

    twice in the past few weeks the font size on my email has changed smaller. The first time it went from 12 pt type to maybe 10 pt type. Last night while I was chatting on Yahoo with our daughter, it went down to maybe 2 pt type. I couldn't find a way to change it back. This morning I opened up the computer to try to work on it again and the font size was maybe 1/2 pt type. The words look like little squiggles on the page. Both my email addresses on Yahoo have reacted the same but the ads to the right of the email on the mail page remain the same size. If I open up another window, and say go to foodtv.com, everything is normal size. I have opened up Safari and gone to my email and everything is normal szie so the problem is the Mozilla. I have also called ATT and gotten help and they couldn't help as it's definitely a Mozilla problem.

  • My MacBook has become too slow with almost all the applications and with Mail it it worst. Almost like hang.

    I am using MacBook with 4GB RAM and 500GB hard disc, 2.26GHz CPU, Mountain Lion OS. The machine has become so slow it hamperes lots of work as with almost all the application it beclome unresponsive and hang like.
    Also disc permission changes over the period of time and need to clean it. After clean it, it improves a bit but the Mail function which is ridiculously slow. Address book never function to remove duplicate.
    Kindly ifnorm the solution if anybody have.

    If you do a safe boot, holding the shift key down while booting, do you have the performance issues? If not, check your login items as well as any software listed at the bottom of the System Preferences pane. A software incompatibility could cause performance issues. Note a safe start will take longer than a normal start.

  • Fonts on CS6 are too small

    Any updates to solve the problem?

    Attach an external Display that displays more pixels at a lower resolution like a dell ultrasharp 32"  UP3214Q displaye 3840px by 2160px a 16:9 aspect ratio at only 140DPI text should be quite readable.  Before there were displays with high resolution DPI most displays had a resolution around 96DPI so the font used in applications UI were designed for 96DPI displays they should be readable at 140dpi.  I have used 15" 1600x1200 displays for years their 133DPI resolution display fonts slightly smaller and much sharper then 96DPI displays. Your MPB LCD has a resolution of 220DPI at that resolution fonts designed for 96DPI displaye will be less the 1/5 the size they display at 96DPI. At 140DPI they will be 1/2 the size as displayed at 96dpi. 2.5 times the size of text on your 240dpi display. Your MBP supports 3840x2160 via HDMI at 30HZ.
    These days Applications and OS need to be updated to support high dpi resolution displays. This will not happen over night.  IBM introduced the 204DPI T221 22.2" 16"10 aspect ratio display that displayed 3840x2400 pixels 9,2MP in 2001 and UI fonts were displayed too small..  Its now 2014 some 13 years later....
