Default Incoming Email font....again......

Please Login to Remove!

I know this has been posted on here beofre and I searched through previous threads about the email font size on the Tour, but I didnt see any "fixes" for it. I am getting huge font on my incoming emails from a vairety of different users, not just gmail. Did anyone ever figure out a fix aside from choosing "get plain text" on each email? Do i have to just "wait until they send out a new version of the OS"? It is really annonying to get imporatnat emails and have them have about 6 words on the screen. I love my trackball and all, but.........

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I am with you ... and as one on my 2nd Tour because of the trackball, this is not the best device to put extra trackball "miles" on scrolling for 5 minutes to read an email

I was figuring we are out of luck until next OS release ... but I find it odd that this has been an issue with other 4.7.x devices w/o a fix??

If you have font size 10 or 11 with HTML turned on you will get the large fonts.

Until an OS patch comes out, select a font size different than above and or turn off HTML email.

Interesting ... absolutely worked for me ... I just sent an font of 8 email to myself and it showed proper size. Unfortunately, the other 399,999 people in IBM mostly use the default font size of 10 What a strange "bug" ... back to waiting for next OS version in hopes for a fix.

This drove me so bananas that I actually turned off HTML support for work email (which is almost always font size 10+). Can't wait to see this get fixed.

I changed my font size to 8 and I will still randomly receive emails that are of larger font...I am trying to look for a pattern in these large font emails, but haven't pinpointed it yet.
