It's not perfect though: For Plain Text you can modify the display font in Tools-> Options-> tab Mail Format-> Stationery and Fonts (or just Fonts… in previous versions of Outlook) Another way to go for HTML formatted emails would be to set the option to read all mail in Plain Text so that your modified Plain Text font settings will always apply. Via the Infobar, which will display on top of a converted message, you can easily change it back to HTML format when needed (like for some special layout or newsletters). For Outlook 2007; Tools-> Trust Center…-> E-mail Security-> Read all standard mail in plain text For Outlook 2003 Tools-> Options…-> button Email Options…-> Read all standard mail in plain text This is a bit of a help on making permanent changes to incoming message text size.
