Increase the Font Size

With the text still highlighted, click on the arrow next to the font size number above the message. Setting this number any higher than what it is will increase the size of the font.

Change the Font

If the font style of the incoming email also makes it difficult to read, selecting another font such as Calibri could make it easier for you. The font style will be listed directly to the left of the font size.
Unselect the Text in the Email

Once the font size and style have been changed, you can click anywhere on the screen outside of the body of the email to remove the highlighting from the text. You may not be able read the email without this step.
