Bullets and tiny text
Authored by: AndySpry on Nov 16, '05 10:10:13AM

I use [Command]-+ (increase font size) and [Command]-- (decrease font size) when I have my hands on the keyboard. But most often when using Mail.app, I am moving around opening and closing messages with the mouse.

To get the decrease/increase font size into Mail.app's reader window, open any e-mail message and select View->Customize Toobar and put the button with the little and big "A" onto the toolbar. This gives you the option of changing the font size with the mouse.

You can also do this on the Mail.app's main window and on the compose message window. They have separate toolbar configurations.

The first thing I do when upgrading OS X across major versions is update my Mail.app tool bars to include the set of actions that maximize my e-mail workflow.

My biggest gripe with Mail.app is that there is no action (command or button) to step to the next unread message in a mailbox. You can get this action by typing [Command]-w to close the current message, pressing the Up or Down arrow to go to the next unread message in the mailbox (depending on how you sort your mail), then pressing return. I'd like a single keystroke or button press for this action.

If you view your mail in the mail pane instead of opening them up into their own windows, you can just hit the arrow keys to cycle through messages...
