Hey everybody, I was wondering if anyone knows how to reformat incoming messages in Mail. It's on a new Mac mini, so it should be up-to-date, and the problem is that on some of the messages I receive the text is either too small for me to read or too light in color (like a shade of gray). I know this is probably due to the way the mail was written on the other end (tell me please if this is not the issue) and so I was wondering if there was a way to reformat the messages to comply with one standard? Kind of like in Safari, where you have the option to up text size so it's never less than, for example, 12 pt. Please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

I thought I tried that to no effect, but it seems to be working now...I feel stupid, but as long as it works, right? 😱 Thanks a lot!

If you mean for all messages then what Blue Velvet said is the way to go.
If you mean just for some messages (in my case, mail from Lotus Notes people often is too small) then Format->Style->Bigger/Smaller which are (supposedly) mapped to Command+ and Command-. However, on my system Command- works but Command+ does not. I have to use the menu for Bigger.
