Anyway, the font thing is a total deal killer. BTW, those of us with vision issues *need* the options for fonts to be obvious, otherwise testing and configuration is very painful. But I believe enough hours were spent testing that if I didn't find it either it doesn't exist or is something my users would never find. Google reports "it doesn't exist". Only the fonts in the message itself are affected by the GUI fonts dialog, the folder pane and message list are teensy-weensy no matter what (and this includes tracking down all the font specs available in the /usr/lib/thunderbird/ and editing those, installing alternate themes and editing those, etc). Glad it works for you and you're happy, but don't recommend it to your friends with less than perfect vision as you'll be wasting their time. :P -- klaatu virada nicto
