Error How to decrease the font size in Mailx

Hi all,

I am using

echo "$EMAILMESSAGE" | mailx -s "$SUBJECT" -b $CC "$TO"

I am receiving the mail but seems to big in font size. Is there any option mailx to decrease the size of the mail generated.

Thanks,

When you send an email like that it is in plain text, so no font face, size, or formatting (bold/underline/etc) is sent. So the way it is displayed is entirely defined by your email reader... go into your email reader's options and see whether you can change the way it displays plain text emails if you don't like the way it looks.
