Font size too large on received emails in outlook 2010

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have seen this on several computers. I think it occurs when Outlook 2010 receives email sent from a system running Outlook 2002. Don't have a fix, but I see this pattern. I could use a fix for this, too.

I'll try to repro using Outlook 2002.

 
I have Outlook 2003 (and XP, SP 3), and am having this issue with email I sent to certain recipients who are using Windows 7 and (I think) Outlook 2010. So it's not just Outlook 2002. Has a solution been found yet?
 
Guys. I found a very simple solution that seems to work in most Outlook panes (I'm using 07)

Hold down Ctrl while turning the scroll wheel on your mouse. You will see the script magically increases or decrease in visual size without chnagng the font size in the message itself.
 
I now also have tis problem with several clients using outlook 2010. It is definetly not a zoom issue. Anyone have a fix yet?

The cause appears to be an antivirus scanner scanning the email. For whatever reason, it removes the dot from font size 10.0, 12.0 etc when it scans.

 
I had a user with this same issue today. Checked all zoom and view settings, but everything was set correctly. After racking my brains I decided to try using one of the wonderful Outlook switches. I used the /cleanclientrules switch to remove any personal rules or settings they applied. This resolved the issue. Try starting Outlook from the run dialog using outlook.exe /cleanclientrules. Here's a link for a site with all the switches. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/o...ne-switches-for-outlook-2010-HP010354956.aspx

There's also the /cleanviews switch which seems like it should work for this issue as well.
