email body zoom option
Hello Thunderbird. Long time user here.
There are many here and there posts about size increase for received email body. Nowadays many emails are in HTML style, especially those from subscriptions, so playing with font sizes does not always work.
I played with settings font and colors but it works partially. Plain text emails yes it is bigger but also bigger for everybody, subscription emails - no, still small to look at high res screen.
Anyways html based emails I need to zoom via CTRL+MouseScrollUp/Down on my Macbook.
Can you please add this as a menu under read view to make it default like in Google Chrome for example 125% or other?
Thunderbird 115.6.0 (64-bit), Sonoma 14.2

Thunderbird already does that and has done so for years.
It is what you mentioned, pressing cntl key and using mouse scroll wheel.

Yeah. Thing is it does not save the state of zoom. Example: I zoomed email 150% (even though I don't know exact number because there is no place to see). Then I close that zoomed email. Open same or another email and my zoom resets so I need to zoom-in again on each and every html based email.
My conclusion is that zoom is present but it can be improved: a) show zoom % made by ctrl+scroll up/down b) save state so each email will have same zoom c) make a separate subsection in Settings for this thing
For instance Google Chrome has all of these.
