Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031206 Firebird/0.7+

I use ISO 8859-1 charcter coding and all emails incoming with that encoding lok
OK, but as soon as one comes with another encoding, the email is shown in a
small font size, which seems not to be incluenceable in the options. (I am using
truetype fonts.)

Example of such a problematic mail is on containing:

Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1251"

Even mozilla mail 1.5 has the problem, but I remember the WIndows version
running fine.

The cuurent mailer is Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031208).

OK, seems more like a rtm than a real bug. i figured out how to change the font
sizes for other langueges. Maybe we should turn this bug into a feature
enhacement proposal: Make it possible to appy font sizes to ALL char. codings in
one shot. It is esp annoying having to press ok and thus the settings dialog
disappering when you change a setting for one coding type in the font section.

Is there any reason not to dupe this to bug 202654 ?

I have similar problem. In particular, "Min font size" options does not influence the message view. I expect that message may use any font of any sizes, not smaller than this setting.
Thunderbird version 2.0.0.22 (20090605)

I haven't noticed the problem in TB 17, so hopefully the issue can be closed.
