I use what I believe is the Thunderbird default display screen layout. A folder list is shown down the left side of my screen - about 1/5th of the screen width. To the right of this, the rest of the screen includes a list of messages in the top portion and in the lower portion a displayed the contents of a message selected in the Message List above.

My question concerns the lower (Message Display?) in the lower portion.

How can I change the font style and size in the message display section? I've searched everywhere for a font default or option. My messages appear in a tiny serif font (Times?) whereas the other two sections (Folder list and Message list) are in an acceptable non-serif font.

I do have the Theme Font and Size changer add-on installed but any changes in its settings do not affect the Message Display. Is there an option somewhere I need to change?

Thanks,

Dave

You can thank all those people wo specify a font and size when they compose their mail. nothing like reading 10 point fonts on a high resolutin monitor to leave you wondering why folk do such things.

hold shift and scroll your mouse wheel. it will zoom in and out on the email displayed. IF that does not do it for you. you can override their font choices, but it can makes for very ugly emails
