There are many more options given in the guide to increase your font size in
the Reading Pane. These are all solutions which do not require you to repeat
the zooming over and over again.

I was inquiring about changing the font in an e-mail that has been
selected and opened. I know that the text size can be increased by
zooming, but then it returns to the small size font as soon as the next
mail message is selected. There must be a method to increase the type
without constantly going through the same operation over and over. Should
not the "Preview Pane" be just that - a preview?
Thanks for the help.
