Product:Mail Product Version:9.1/3096.5
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
You can open up a Mail message, and make it bigger by doing Format -> Style -> Bigger, or hitting command +, but if you close it, next time you open it up it's forgotten this.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double click an email message to open it into its own window.
2. Hit command +, or do Format -> Style -> Bigger, to make it more readable. (Font size gets larger.)
3. Close message.
4. Re-open it.

Expected Results:
Mail should remember that you've resized this message, and display it at the zoom level it had when you last closed it.

Actual Results:
Mail forgets you've applied this change, and opens it up w/ its original size.

Version:
Mail Version 9.1/3096.5 & OS X Version 10.11.1/15B42

Notes:
All versions of Mail up thru Lion or Mountain Lion (correctly) remembered when this setting was applied, and next time you opened that message, it stayed re-sized, if you'd resized it.  All versions of Mail I think Mavericks & later (at least Yosemite & later) have this bug.

Configuration:
All circumstances, all hardware, all versions of OS X from at least 10.10 onward (or was it 10.9 when this bug crept in?).  Happens whether you open message in its own window, or are viewing it in preview pane.
