Here are the instructions you need to follow:

  • Select the message. The email is from Facebook and has fancy formatting and images.
  • Click "Tools" from the top menu and select "Options". To get the Windows Live Mail toolbar, hit the Alt key on the keyboard.
  • Move to the "Read" tab and check the "Read all messages in plain text" option. [Slide 4]
  • Hit the "Apply" button followed by "OK".
  • The email message will now be stripped of all fancy formatting and images and will be shown to you in plain text format. 
  • The text size of the email message should now be comfortable to read. If now, hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll wheel of your mouse (or the vertical strip on the touchpad) to make the font size larger or smaller. 

Conclusion: Emails that have been composed in HTML format can contain images and fancy formatting. The text size in such messages is primarily controlled by the embedded styles. To increase the font (text) size change the 'view mode' to plain text which will get rid of all the formatting and present the email text in a larger font. To increase further, click the Ctrl key and use the scroll wheel on the mouse.

You can increase the font size by going to your browser's settings and changing the font size from there. How to get to these settings depends on which browser you use. An alternative is decreasing the resolution of your monitor.

How to change font size

A recent comment about small fonts in AOL Desktop prompted me to explain how to increase the size of your fonts in your Windows Operating System. AOL Desktop will recognize your preferred OS font size so that text throughout the program will be larger. (To increase your browser font size, which is handled separately, go to the Tools menu in the AOL Desktop browser, choose "Power Browsing" and go to "Page Display".) To set the font size in your Operating System (warning: this will apply to all your other applications, not just AOL), go to your Display Properties in Windows XP / Personalization Settings in Windows Vista. On XP, you can right-click on your PC desktop background and choose "Properties", then select the "Appearance" tab". Look for the "Font Size" menu at the bottom, and choose the dropdown for your preferred font size (e.g. normal, large, and extra large). In the screenshot below, you'll see the steps I just described below. I'm running "Large Fonts" so you can see how it impacts my window chrome...

Change to larger font on aol e-mail

AOL Mail is an email service provided to the customers of American Online as well as Web users.

When you print an email using AOL Mail software, you may notice that the font size either appears too small or too large.


AOL Mail gives you the flexibility to adjust the font size and thus, the size of the print.

Note that these instructions apply to AOL 9.0 or higher.


If you have an old edition, follow instructions from the link specified under Resources.

Launch your AOL Mail software from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.


Log in using your AOL screen name and password.


Click "Settings" on the top bar.


Click "Font and Text."


Click the font type drop-down menu to choose either a larger or smaller font type than the current one.


Click the font size drop-down menu to choose either a larger or smaller font size based on your preference.


Click "Save."

Hope this helps

I use AOL on my Mac. Can not change the font size on outgoing mail. How do I fix this?

LOL, no wonder. Are they still around? They've been bought and sold so much that I thought they were completely stripped.

Get into your AOL email and look for a help option somewhere while in the email client.
