I have one email contact, which is a business, that sends emails using either Georgia or Times New Roman as their font. This presents an email message that is difficult to read. Is it possible to force the Mail app to render emails from certain senders in a different font or larger size?
Got a tip for us?

There are settings in Mail > Preferences..... (Oops, sorry, I just realized that you were talking about on the iPhone, not on a Mac!)

The only thing is that I think that changing the default font changes it for all mail received but I am not sure.
What I usually do is zoom in a bit if I am having trouble reading a message in too-small font.

That's fine. Thank you for the link, this actually helps with mail from the same person on my MBA
Edit: I have the font set to Helvetica 13 in the Mail.app on my MBA, but it still shows the email in Georgia/Times. I now wonder if their mail is HTML mail.
Changing the font for all mail messages is fine, actually preferred, as that would help with consistency. I just wish I could figure out how to do it on my iPhone XR. I totally forgot that we could pinch-to-zoom in Mail, would like to be able to change the font/size though.
