How does one set an exact font size in Thunderbird like you can do in most other email programs?

I noticed that when composing or reading emails you only have a larger or smaller font size button. I only want to change the size displayed on my computer, not hard code the size for my sent emails as that could cause problems for the recipient. We tried copying some text from an email in the AOL desktop software (we are trying to get rid of AOL software, that's why we downloaded TB in the first place!) and pasting into a new TB message and the text after pasting was different sizes. This text was all one size in the AOL email. Selecting the small text and clicking the 'larger font size' nothing changed. She ended up retyping most of it and the text still was not all uniform. These old emails are press releases all originally typed in the same font size in the AOL desktop software. I figured out that if you 'paste without formatting' into TB. the text pastes all the same size but it would be helpful if we could make the text larger by just a point or too. The make larger or smaller buttons seem to have rather large increments. Any way to change this?

Thanks

To set the display fonts for received and composed messages, open Tools/Options/Display/Formatting/Fonts & Colors/Advanced, and adjust the settings for each Fonts for: that you use.
