Severity:          wishlist

OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi!
Printing seems not to use the fontsize specified for the message body.
I set the fontsize to 12 but the output seems to  be something like 8.
On a HP-laser it's very small but still readable using Michales great fax interfaxe the fax even on a laserfax is almost unreadable.

That was never the case at least not in the last months since the screen 
resolution is not related to the resolution of the printer.

Is the print output of Konqueror better?

besides the fact that only the last lines are printed out of konqueror (I
think there was a thread with printing problems recently) the size of the
letters are ok (looks like size 10)

kword prints bigger than I expected.

Ok I see what's happening.

It seems that the old behavior from KDE 2.0 beta x is back that the size of 
the font used for printing depends on the window size. If you resize the 
window of KMail to a smaller size then you get bigger fonts on the paper. 
Same behavior with Konqueror.

Sorry but this is 100% a khtml issue and I don't know why this has been 
changed.

Yes I can reproduce this.
I'll reassign the bug to khtml
