Message Body Font in Outlook Suddenly Small

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

    When you use zoom option the title gets huge but the body content of the email is still not readable. Even when 20 years younger I wouldn't have been able to read it.

    The font is set to "large" but this is for your own reply. Doesn't seem to affect mail you received. And that is the problem.
    I was forced to switched to Outlook which I didn't want, now I cannot read my mail anymore :(

    Thank you that resolved the issue! Zoom inside the message was somehow set to 67%. It would be nice if the zoom option was included in the preview pane.

    This worked for me. Thanks. Microsoft should hire you as CEO.

    I did the fix and it worked. After a couple days, it went right back to tiny, so I did the fix again, and it worked. Not the biggest crisis in the world, but sheesh--you'd think Microsoft would have gotten this fixed a long time ago.
