Thanks, I'll check that out.

I can't believe that something this simple (what I want to do) isn't
available as an option.



Are you overlooking the Ctrl-h keyboard toggle for it? ; )

If you install OETool, there is a one button click to toggle between Show
All Messages and Shoe Replies To My Messages. It's freeware and it does a
few other things that are helpful.

Yeah, I do that on some messages and then I sort those messages to the
top.

The problem with that is I reply to a whole lot of messages and if I did
that for every message I reply to that would fill the entire window then
I would always have to scroll way down to see new messages.

The ViewShow Replies To My Messages seems to be the way to go.

Thanks!

Thanks, Bruce.

I looked around in ToolsOptions before I posted. I didn't see anything
in there that was an "obvious match" to what I want to do.

Unfortunately, your first suggestion didn't do anything. No change at
all.

I tried the DesktopPropertiesAppearanceFont size. That changed the
header font size but I don't have a problem seeing that. It's that
little icon to the left of the header that I can't see very well.

Changing the View to Show Replies To My Messages seems to work pretty
good but if anyone knows how to change the font color of replied to
headers, that would be ideal.

Thanks!

Tools | Options | Send | Mail Sending Format | Plain Text Settings.
You can set it to indent with the carat, a colon, : or a vertical
line |. The line may be best, but that's your choice.

You can create a rule to highlight messages with your address, but you
won't see them unless you expand the thread.

You can go to View | Current View and temporarily check Show Replies
To My messages. Quicker if you enable the Views Bar.

You can also make the message header fonts larger.

Right click on the Desktop | Properties | Appearance. If there is an
Advanced button click that. In the Item drop-down box select Icon.
Change the font size there.

Note that this will change the font size in some other places as well.

Hi Folks!

I have poor eyesight. I use OE to access the MS ngs.

Is there any way to better highlight messages that I reply to than
the default of that teenie tiny little "arrow" that I can barely see?
Any way to highlight the header in a different color?
