Description Anders Lund 2003-06-09 22:56:51 UTC

Version:           1.5.9 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 
OS:          Linux

When reading HTML mails, I miss a zoom button, since many clients use fonts that are too small to read comfortably on the screen. Either promote KHTMLs zoom buttons, or provide your own, please ;)

---Forwarded from bug 123219---
           Summary: Zoom Messages with Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: rayH eng-int co uk
Version:           1.9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

My eyesight is failing and changes from hour to hour. 

I would like kmail to use the ctrl++/ctrl+- keystrokes to zoom in and out in the same manner as Konqueror. I am not sure whether this should apply to the whole KMail window or only the message(active) pane.

I think that this might subsume longstanding "Bug 59576:  zoom buttons are missing in kmail" and "Bug 50983: HTML mail does not honor minimum font sizes".

From bug #90622:
CTRL-Scrollwheel does increase and decrease text size in the message pane, but for HTML mail and non-HTML. However, this is useless for those who don't have a mouse (or those with no scrolwheel). Toolbar "Zoom" buttons that provide the same functionality will solve the problem as they can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts. This should be rather easy to implement.

Changing font size "on the fly" is useful when you temporary need to read some asian or complex fonts.
