First of all, I'm not sure that I chose the right topic - but there were so few.

Because I am old, I have set the fontsize for my email body text at 16pt. The text on the main message listing page is not 16pt. It is whatever the TB default is. However, the icons uses for various columns (star, trash, spam, etc) does appear to be the size of my email body text. Consequently, the icons appear as if they have been cropped off. How can I get the icons in the main listing page to be the proper size so that you see the entire icon?

Lets start at the beginning. You have not set you font to 16pt you have set it to 16 pixels (about 30% smaller than 16pt)

Because you are using Linux, I would actually be suspicious that the font you are using has bitmaped graphics in it rather than vector graphics. That has been a problem in the past. One of the joys of open source is not everyone does it right.

Finally. If you go to the view menu, you will see a font size entry that allows you to modify the interface settings, not the transmitted mail content font size as you have done now. ( I base the assumption on the fact the only setting which has fonts with numbers are the composed body text sizes.)

The font option on the view menu is a new feature of V102.
