Yesterday my Outlook updated to a new version. The text of the message body is so small it is useless in the preview pane. The subject line font is huge while the message body font is tiny. What do I have to do to make the fonts the same size? I have tried accessibility text font changes that make it worse. I tried large, medium and small in outlook and it has no effect on the message body font. Preview pane image included. Thank you for your support. I have Windows 11.
Regards,
Tim

I stumbled upon the solution by pure happenstance ... it's so dumb!
If you open any email in a separate pane (by double-clicking it), you'll notice that pane has an independent zoom button at the top of the new window:
This zoom button will also change the zoom of your email in the normal reading pane. Somehow mine was set to like 60%, which is why all the text was super tiny. What a dumb setting! No way to change it anywhere else, as far as I can tell 🤦♀️
Hopefully this helps someone!
Thank you!!!!
The solution we've all been looking for!! WooHoo!!
