Change the font size of incoming / received emails

[Andy]

I have recently switched to running my monitor at a
resolution of 1600 x 1200 to support an application which
I use for 80% of my time.

Since making this change my entire desktop appearance has
reduced (which is to be expected). I have managed to
increase any fields, toolbars, icons, text etc I deem to
small via large icons, changing the windows scheme,
utilising the functionality offered through ‘Options’ etc

However I have yet to find a way of reading my received /
incoming without first enlarging the text.

Does anyone know where I can change a setting to
automatically enlarge the email texts of received /
incoming mails. I currently use Outlook 97.

Thanks

In Outlook XP, (it may or may not be the same in Outlook 97)
1) Click on "Tools"
2) Click on "Options"
3) Click on "Mail Format" tab
4) Click on "Fonts" (under "Stationary and Fonts")
