Change font size in Thunderbird

Hi team,

I'm helping a customer change the size font writing in the Thunderbird programme. I have little experience with the client, so I'm unsure how to resolve. The actual PC settings have been changed for the customer, so the windows and mouse appear bigger, but not the font in the programme. How are we able to change this? He has poor eye-sight. A quick response would be appreciated!

is it the display font or the compose font? huge emails are very hard for the recipient to read.

I suggest you experiment with On the toolbar > Options> Composition

and

On the toolbar > Options > display to find a happy medium between sending clownishly large emails and actually being able to see the messages body while composing.
