Changing font in messages I receive

[Terri]

How can I change the font in messages I receive? I
recently got a 19" flat panel monitor, and when I set it
on the right resolution, everything looked tiny. I've
managed to enlarge fonts and icons on everything but my
Outlook messages. I want to be able to read them in a
bigger font than what the sender puts them in.

Thanks for your help!

You didn't specify your version of Outlook
(97,2000,2002,2003)???

You need to modify the system fonts under Display Properties->Appearance.

This solution is for Outlook 2002. I would assume other
versions are similar. While in the Inbox, click Tools,
Options, Mail Format tab. In the stationary and Fonts
section, click the Font btn. In the message fonts section,
click the Choose Fonts btn. next to When composing and
reading plain text. Select font size and click Ok several
times to get back to the Inbox. Open your message. Reply
if this is what you were looking for.
