Quick Apple Mail Fix for HTML font size
Hi, just dropping in from raiding the lands of healthy heroes and creamy young virgins to let you in on a quick Apple Mail tip.
Do you use Apple Mail in an environment with Outlook? In particular, do those Outlook users prefer HTML mail? Do you receive mail from them with a microscopic font size?
Thanks to the tip I found here you can correct this issue.
- Close down Apple Mail (command-Q)
- Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
- Type the following command: “defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 13″ (note: without quotes)
- Restart Apple Mail
- Squint no more.
Hope this helps. Flying back out to meet up with my sister Vermithrax and raid a few kingdoms today. Wednesdays are always fun like that.

Hi, Do you have a terminal command for Outlook for Mac 2011? I am still having unPrOFessionAL eMAil messages sent with varying font sizes. Also, when I backspace the font in the message body turns into Helvetica.

Sorry, Outlook for Mac is a completely different (and frustrating) animal.
