How can I change incoming E mails to use fonts of my choosing ? Some ppl I get text letters from have tiny fonts I can barely read. Is there a way to change fonts to always be in Arial, for e.g. That I can easily read please. I have TB 78.7.1 w/ win 10. TY.

Those (default) settings work here, but you can set the fallback encoding to Unicode in a folder's Properties (right-click menu) if some messages aren't displayed properly.

try View menu > view > message body as simple HTML first. That might do it for you.

Options/General/Language & Appearance, Advanced, set the fonts and sizes with Fonts for: Latin, repeat with Fonts for: Other Writing Systems, uncheck 'Allow messages to use other fonts'.

Will have to wait until some actually writes me using tiny fonts and will see if prob. is fixed. Also, under Options>general>Lang. & Appearance>advanced> in the bottom of the dialog box, there are 2 choices text encoding, Incoming: Western iso 8859-1. Outgoing: Unicode, etc. Is this the correct choice for these 2 settings ?
