Oh. Are you referring to the size of the fonts of the message headers
themselves?

Right click on the Desktop | Properties | Appearance. The font size setting
is at the bottom. Note that this will change the font size in other places
as well.

Forgive me, but are we talking about reading a message you receive, or the
size o fonts when you are composing an e-mail?

In the area where you clicked on my message, right below 'subject' ...
how can I change the font size there?

I'm missing something here. If you can change it for reading, and
writing, (composing), I'm not sure what you are asking.

If you mean Message | New, or Message New - Using, You have to put the
cursor in the Message Body area before any changes will be able to take
place.

I know how to change the size of the font for reading and writing
messages, but I don't know how to change the font size in the upper
"Messages" area. They all seem to be about an 8 and that's too small for
me. I've looked at options but don't seem to have found the answer.
TIA, Eleanor
