Why did the font in my outgoing emails suddenly get big in Outlook?

The font didn't get big; the view zoomed. It happened because you held the Ctrl key while scrolling the mouse wheel. It is annoying. Then every new email or email reply you start looks all huge (or maybe small, depending which way you scrolled).

Do this to fix it:

• Reply to an e-mail or start a new one
• Go to the Format Text tab
• Click the "Zoom Zoom" button (it has the word Zoom printed on it twice, because maybe you'll notice it more if it says it harder?)
• Set back to 100%

Update: In Outlook 2010 the Zoom thing is on the Message tab, not the Format Text tab.
