Increase the minimum font size in Mail.app

(Note to self)

If you use Mail.app (or MacMail as it’s also known) then you’ve probably found that HTML emails originating from Microsoft Outlook appear to have tiny text. Annoying, isn’t it?

The solution, however, is simple. Close down Mail.app, open Terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 13

Now start up Mail.app and Bob’s your uncle — Arial at a size you can read.
