You’re right. This is not a Mail-related problem.

Are you using Safari or Firefox? Drop me an email (address is in the sidebar of the front page — http://www.hawkwings.net/ ).

I’m not sure if this is a related question or not…I play cards on yahoo and with my new Mac the type in the yahoo window is incredibly small! I have adjusted the minimum font size on my new MacBook Pro but it doesn’t seem to apply to the yahoo window. Is there any fix?

Thanks for the tip! This has been a great annoyance since I’ve started using Mail.app. Now…if someone can just tell me how to get Mail to delete messages from the server (e.g. Gmail) when I empty them from the trash in Mail - then I’ll really be a happy camper!

I’ve done this trick — with the minimum size.

here’s what happened after:

Even though my default font is set to Arial 11 and my Sig File the same, when I send an email to PC Outlook the message body appears in Times and only the sig file has the right formatting — Arial 11. I cannot figure out how this happened!

well I have gone with customizing toolbar and dragging small A and larger A, seems the most convenient (until I get Tiger for Xmas!)

thanks

Hmmm… I don’t know about Panther. I’m an early adopter type, so I have no Panther machines around to double-check this.

Do other keyboard shortcut workarounds provide you with any relief?

Does this only work with Tiger? I use 10.3.9 and it didn’t work - unless I’m an idiot (which I might be)

Finally! I’ve been frustrated with this since 10.4 came out. Now everything appears at a reasonable size…

Excellent. Nothing like a tip that acutally works! :-)

Of course, this only affects the way that HTML displays on your Mac. The people that you send HTML emails to won’t see a huge sig; it will still look 10 pt to them.
