How-to Request:

I have both composing HTML emails and displaying HTML emails working the way I want things.

The only thing that I would like that make things perfect for my needs would be able to have a smaller font for incoming emails of Content-Type: text/plain

As you can tell from the my settings (see below), I am displaying such messages in the default Helvetica font, which, in these messages appears a bit large for my taste. Yes, I know I could futz with <cmd+> or <cmd-> on the make, but I would rather not.

Is such possible and if so, what are the steps?

Many thanks.
