Automatic text resize upon receipt of email.

[Guest]

Hi, I am trying to help a person who has some difficulty with an eye sight.
I'd like to setup outlook to automatically resize all received emails into
12pt Bold text. I have already setup outgoing email to use user's own
stationary, which was the easy bit.

I'd appreciate any ideas... I suppose that we might need to employ a little
scipt or sth similar. Thanks

Hi Peter,

tools>options, click the "Mail format" tab.
In the stationary and fonts section click the fonts button.
When the next window opens click the third Choose font button.

Choose the font and size you want. Click OK when done.

In the last section "Stationary fonts"
Mine has "use the font in stationary (if specified)" selected.

Hi John,

I am afraid that your suggested solution only solves the font size when
sending email and I have it setup already.

The real problem is resizing on receipt of an email. And since it's a non
sense to ask everybody to send emails in larger size then I am trying to work
out a rule/solution to auto upsize.

Thanks anyway,

regards

Petr

Hi Peter,
It does work for reading if the email is in plain text.
You can convert all incoming email to plain text in tools>options
preferences tab.
Click the email button and check the last option in the first section.

Thanks jaf,

You are right taht certainly works fine with plain text...

problem still remain that it's only plain text... these days, there are
quite a few html formatted emails getting into the inbox and it doesn't make
pretty reading having them re-formatted to plain text.

That was the main reason why I mentioned some kind of script or something...
I find it still a bit strange that Microsft did not incorporate "zoom"/text
size function into Outlook. It can't be such a big deal when it's present in
IE...
