All my incoming emails are in really small text (probably six or eight point). I can't find the correct steeps to make a text size increase. No GENERAL option is in my OPTION drop down. HELP

I can't find the steps to increase the text size of incoming emails. Every "solution" I find says to open OPTION, then GENERAL. There IS NO GENERAL option in the dropdown in my latest version of Thunderbird. Text size in my received emails is small, probably six or eight point. I can increase the size by using Ctrl +, but that's a real nuisance. Ideas?
