Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux There is a nice option in Mozilla Thunderbird - you can press [Ctrl]-[+] to enlarge the font size of the currently viewed message (and [Ctrl]-[-] to make it smaller). It would be nice if such option existed in KMail, so when I get HTML mail with small font size I could enlarge it to be able to read it. As this option already exists in Konqueror I think it is possible in KMail.
This would indeed be a GREAT enhancement! BTW: This also works in Evolution, Mozilla, Konqueror, Firefox, etc.
I would also find it very usefull.
Is anybody working on this? I'm finding Kmail very difficult to use because I must often change the font size in text that I read. I don't want to switch email clients, but the ability to change font size on the fly is becoming very important to me.

Ctrl+Mousewheel works in KMail for me (KDE 3.5.6, Gentoo, x86_64). Thanks for the tip!
My god! Why is there no keyboard shortcut for this, but only a mouse gesture? No clues in the interface either, how am I supposed to know? The keyboard shortcut with menu entry that shows the shortcut, that would be good usability... I'd like to know WHAT my program is capable of and how. I have to guess this gesture? It's not the point that it works, which it does, but that kmail needs a lot of little usability enhancements, instead of big features. Why can't I control it with the keyboard only?
Wow, Ctrl-Mousewheel does work. I don't see this documented anywhere. I don't have commit access to KDE documentation otherwise I would edit it in. In any case, I don't use the mouse very much and it is often not even attached to the lappy. A keyboard shortcut is still nessaccary.

You're so right. Does somebody want to provide a patch for KMail? Technically, the function is borrowed from KHTML which is used to display the messages. There we also have Ctrl++ / Ctrl+- which isn't handled in KMail ATM. Regards, Andreas

This is NOT a dupe of 59576. 59576 specifically asks for the feature for HTML mail. This bug is asking for the feature for ALL mail. Yes, I need to change the text size of non-HTML email as well, depending on lighting conditions, and how tired my eyes are after looking at the screen all day.
>This bug is asking for the feature for ALL mail. Changing font size IS possible for all messages, I just checked again to be sure. Ctrl+mousewheel works fine with HTML and plain text messages. Only thing really missing are the buttons/keyboard shortcuts. Or am I missing somehing here?
How are users with no mouse, or a mouse with no scrollwheel, to increase text size? And to clarify, I usually use my laptop without a mouse. Konqueror is great for that, and there are firefox extensions for mouseless browsing as well.
>How are users with no mouse, or a mouse with no scrollwheel, to increase text size? That is the reason bug 59576 exists. Actually, if there were buttons in the toolbar, you could assign a shortcut to them. OK to re-close this one as duplicate?
In light of your observation regarding toolbar buttons, I added the important points from this bug to bug #59576 and I'm re-closing this one. Thanks, Thomas. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59576 ***
