Yes you can do as you suggest, but please note my earlier message in
this thread, which explains a much easier way: "If you have a scroll
mouse, hold down the CTRL key and scroll the wheel. One direction will
make it bigger, the other smaller. "

IE 8.0 has zoom. Check the bottom right corner on IE 8.0 and you will see a
magnifying glass icon and 100% next to it.

I prefer using Firefox though. The add-ons for Firefox take it way past IE
8.0.

I was under the impression he was using Window Mail to read email.

You can't do that in Windows Mail can you?

I don't remember and I'm not sure. You may be right. However, note
that it's a Windows standard, and it works in many (but not all)
Windows programs, even many not written by Microsoft.
