Welcome to the list! First, if you use Plain Text, as is requested by this list, the problem pretty much goes away. However... I just know you're going to say "But most of my messages are in HTML" :) So are mine! The small text on my screen, when I compose a message, is somewhat of a pain. I agree. But, when I get a message back, as a reply, I see that the text is fairly properly sized. I guess we are both obsessing about a mostly non-existing problem. Besides, we can't control what fonts are installed on the recipient's computer. Our carefully crafted message can be rendered unreadable if we were to use a font that does not exist on the end computer. As an example, I had my wife send me a message, from her Windows machine, using Thunderbird, and composed in Cooper Black. When I received it, Evolution disregarded the font as it is not installed on my machine and showed the message in the regular font we see. I would still like to be able to chose which font is used so I could make sure I am sending MS TT type fonts and would know pretty much what the end user will see. Can't help you with the downgrade question. Sorry.
