My in-laws have AOL e-mail and would like to be able to read it, but because of the small font have difficulty doing so. I am not an AOL subscriber but have found how to increase the font of their OUTGOING messages, but that still doesn't help with the incoming. Is there a utility that I have overlooked that will enable them to automatically enlarge the font of all incoming messages? If so, please advise and I will adjust their computer accordingly. Thank you in advance for the assistance.

I have AOL both the AOL 9 Browser and Explorer

and I looked around the settings of both Programs ...Nothing to Increase Text size
However There is a sort of workaround and it'll take some Noseying at the Inlaws computer
Firstly unless they already use it
The AOL Mail toolbar for Internet Explorer
Needs to be Installed http://toolbar.aol.com/mail/newb/download.html
Its a near ringer to the Browser you are familiar with So everything is there (No Spam Block list!)

OK again the settings have No Text size option

Now the Magic... Ask them If its Version 7 or 8. The answer is found under "Help" then Click "About Internet Explorer" < NOTE Wording Varies!

Version 6 may have this feature Too in the same Place
Look along the Toolbar at the Top For "View" click this .
On the Menu there'll be either items with "Text Size" and/or "Zoom"
Version 8 has a duplicate "Text sizer" control in the Lower right corner of all Internet Explorer windows.Has more range than the Previous versions

Hope this is Helpful?
