I'm sure anyone who receives a lot of email from PC Outlook users has noticed that the message font size is a couple points smaller than the message headers.

Has anyone figured a way around this? It's annoying to receive some email that's in a smaller font. Plus, at a higher-res, it's pretty difficult to see.

the solution is easy - just put a "bigger" button in your mail toolbar and with a click or two you'll be able to make everything quite legible.

the keyboard command is: command-+ (command-shift-=)

This definitely works, but it's more of a workaround. It also bumps up the size of the headers. I don't want to have to look at big, gorky headers just to read my mail.

Of course, Apple should section off headers in Mail so they're separated from the email message. But that's for another thread.

You can turn headers off/customize them in Mail's preferences.
