949040 - When replying to an email, the size of the characters is always small and always has to be made larger.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Bill]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131112160018

Steps to reproduce:

Replying to any email and the characters are always very small. I have to
increase the size with the larger font button. It never remembers the set
font size. If I move the cursor to another area, I have to increase the size
again. The default size is too small and I can't the default and have it stay. 


Actual results:

Default font size is always to small when replying to an email.


Expected results:

There should be some way to set the default font size to a value and have
it remember it in the next reply to another email.

There is a preference in Preferences/Composition/General. I have tested it on my system and it changes font size of text when replying to a message. Could you test if that solves your problem, Bill?

I went to Preferences/Composition/General and increased the font size. It worked for a few times and 
now it doesn't any more. The previous changes stayed the same ( large font ) but I'm back to the small
font size on every reply to any email. The only way is to use the larger font size but it doesn't stay.

If you want to email me direct I can show you the difference.

Thank You for you help.
