Type size in e-mail

Mine is set on size 10 which is too small for me.

How do I set it on size 12 without having to do it each time? I am in Hotmail. Thanks.

May just be the browser... try Ctrl+ That's the Ctrl button and the + button at the same time.

Sounds like that will make the rest of the text larger. It might be something specific to Hotmail (Windows Live ?) that is doing this.

If it is CSS, then some browsers allow you to override the website CSS and use your own (so you'd copy theirs and then increase the font size a little).

I have this problem too - and am on AOL .

But, it only has become a problem since I switched to a Mac 8 months ago.

I've simply been manually changing the type on every email, so would love to know how to permanently set a different/larger type size too.

Earlybird - which bit is the 'same' ? That you are using Hotmail, or just that the text is too small ?

Without knowing which browser is in use, it is awkward to try to replicate.

I don't have the AOL browser, but do have Netscape, Firefox, Opera and IE and for most of them, at least 2 or 3 different version numbers (NS v9, v7.2, v7.1, FF 1.0.5, 2, 3 and 3.6.3, Opera 9 and 10, IE 6 and 8, and Chrome too). Oh, and an old version of Safari on a G3 iMac.
