Hello,

Can anyone help with getting the "system" fonts changed in
Outlook? I just got a new high-resolution monitor and the font
in the folder list pane are kind of small, and the font in the
pane that shows the message headers/subject, etc. is just about
unreadable.

I can't seem to find anyplace in Outlook to change these fonts.
Also, I have the various fonts in the Email options set to sizes
of 10-12 pt. for composing and replying, and I can tell that
these *appear* really smaller than they should. I realize that
because this is a larger (21") monitor and the resolution is
somewhat high (1280 x 960) that there is going to be some of
this. I could set these adjustable fonts to 14 pt., but then
I'm afraid that they would all look HUGE in emails I send and
would be read on smaller monitors/lower resolutions.

But my main question has to do with the font size in the header
pane.

TIA.
