Description Andreas Cord-Landwehr 2015-08-01 09:20:29 UTC 
Changing the display font for the message body in "Settings" -> "Configure KMail" -> Appearence" -> "Fonts" does not have any effect on the display font size when opening a message (also not in the the message preview widget next to the message list). Restarting KMail does not change this.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Andreas Cord-Landwehr 2015-08-01 09:21:42 UTC 
Additional information, just recognized: the font size of the mail header information change though. But not the font of my (plain text) mails.
Comment 2 Denis Kurz 2017-01-20 19:28:20 UTC 
Confirmed for 5.4.1. I changed the font for "Message Body" to Hack, size 13. Preview as well as message viewer window were quite unimpressed. Just as reported, restart didn't help either. In contrast to Comment 1, however, I didn't notice any changes in headers. The settings simply have no effect at all.

Other than "Message Body", all the other options in the "Apply to" field didn't change anything either, except for "Composer". The font for "Composer" is applied to some header fields in the composer (From, Subject), but not all (To). The message body in the composer is unaffected, too.

Sorry! I, too, missed a detail: I chose *bold* text for unread messages in the message list. The font and size are still not applied to messages in the message list, but unread messages are displayed bold.
