Solution for small fonts in Tiger Mail, finally!
Authored by: andrei on Sep 26, '05 08:02:30PM

Hello sjoerd,

Thank you very much for your post about this issue. I know quite a bit of time has passed, so I hope you may see my question.

I followed your instructions about editing the com.apple.mail.plist with the plist editor that came with the developer tools. The path to the file I am editing is:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ScreenReader.framework/Versions/A/Resources/English.lproj/ExceptionsDatabases/com.apple.mail.plist

I do not see any changes after altering and saving the p-list file. (I had to modify its permissions so that I could edit it. This shouldnt effect anything however, right?) I did successfully change the font color with the css file as you pointed out.

I entered the MinimumHTMLFontSize entry at the top level under "root" in the plist. Nothing happened. I tried it as well under UIElement and AXStaticText and AXTextField subheadings. Still nothing. The class column for my entry is listed as "number" and i have "12" in the value.

I'm sure I am doing something wrong. Please, help me!!!!!!

Thanks a million!

Andrei

Ok, I am a moron. My unix mindset told me to do a "locate" command in the terminal for that file, which brought up that really strange path for the file.

Simply doing a spotlight search, like a good os x user should do, brought me to another plist file with path /Users/andrei/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Thats what you need to use guys. Works perfectly. Sorry for cluttering up space on the boards for my stupidity!

Take care,

Andrei
