Yes, I believe I said that in my original email (see my emacs-style
references to control - and control +).  What you call the "mail reading
pane" I called the "message pane".  It can also be changed using VIEW >
ZOOM > ZOOM IN and VIEW > ZOOM > ZOOM OUT.  But, this *only* affects the
text in the message pane.  It does not affect the text in the Folders
pane, nor the text in the header pane (which is the list of emails in
the folder).
