how do I change the font for incoming emails in eM Client

how do I change the font for incoming emails in eM Client. Currently all incoming emails are unreadable because of the small font. When I click reply, the font enlarges and I am able to read it.

Hi,

this can be done only for plain text emails, HTML emails will be always displayed in their original state.

Go to Tools - Settings - Mail - Read and change font there.

Since this topic is still ‘hot’ and since I have an issue with this, I thought I’d post here rather than start a new thread.

The instructions given to the OP (Johan) don’t work for me. I try to change the font for reading emails and select the “use preferred font for fixed-width plain text messages,” but it doesn’t work. I have lots of plain text emails displaying in Courier New and, despite changing the font to Segoe UI, it does not change. I tried UNchecking the box, applying, closing eM client, opening it again, going into settings and re-checking the box, but it still does not save/apply. ???

I agree, I have tried changing all incoming emails to plain text and also followed Jan’s instructions by going into Tools --> Settings -->Mail–> and changing the read font but this did not work at all.

Hi Jan,

I have sent you an email to the address you mentioned with an email saved in .eml format as well as two screenshots showing you the small font in the eM client.

We are currently experiencing this problem on my wife’s Windows 8 laptop, All e-mails are displaying in a miniscule font which is unreadable.

Hi Roger,

Maybe you can do something as follows:

Tools --> Settings --> Mail --> Read

and then change ‘preferred font for messages’.

I have tried this, but with no result,

Hi, does your emails come as HTML or plaintext? Do you use latest IE version if so can you try to reset it to default settings?

Hi, The e-mails come as HTML. The version of IE on the machine is 11.02. I have tried resetting it to default settings, but this appears to have made no difference.

I just installed eM client for my Mom and she is experiencing the same problem.  The font in the preview screen as well as the message window is tiny.  I can use ctl + to increase the font, but this is too much to ask of my Mom.  She is running W7 Home Premium, SP1 - Windows Update indicates that there are no required updates.  Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi Mike, can you make a screenshot of this issue? What version of eM Client are you currently using?

Thank you,
