Is it possible to set a larger text size fir IE 6?

I know that by going to View and Text Size I can get a Medium or Larger
view/text. but every time I turn on the computer I have to repeat the same.
I cannot find a default setting for that. I am using Windows XP.

my eyes thank you in advance,

---solution 1
If you are using Eudora 4.2 or greater then use Tools-Options-Viewing
Mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft's viewer"
It is Eudora that is setting the IE text size and unchecking that
option will stop it.

The key that Eudora 4.x will change is this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

---solution 2
In Outlook 2000 go to Tools/Options/Mail Format/Fonts/International
Fonts, and for each font change the "Font Size" entry to your desired size.

You can use a User Stylesheet (Tools>Internet Options - Accessibility
button) and use a stylesheet that has a larger font size. This will not work
though if the web designer has specified their own font size.

This site has samples of UserStylesheets that set different font sizes and
foreground and background colors for accessibility purposes.

There is also a magnify option (different from font sizing) that comes with
the Accessibility toolbar from

I think also the Ask.com toolbar has this feature.
