No, that only works for the message body. |

Could be, but I doubt it. |
| 26 |
Sure would help if they didn't hate the visually impaired... |

Could be that you've done something "special" to make autocomplete |
| 41 |
work, it surely doesn't work out of the box for me. |
| 42 |
Anyway, the font thing is a total deal killer. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
BTW, those of us with vision issues *need* the options for fonts to be |
| 45 |
obvious, otherwise testing and configuration is very painful. But I |
| 46 |
believe enough hours were spent testing that if I didn't find it either |
| 47 |
it doesn't exist or is something my users would never find. Google |
| 48 |
reports |
| 49 |
"it doesn't exist". Only the fonts in the message itself are affected by |
| 50 |
the GUI fonts dialog, the folder pane and message list are |
| 51 |
teensy-weensy no matter what (and this includes tracking down all the |
| 52 |
font specs available in the /usr/lib/thunderbird/ and editing |
| 53 |
those, installing alternate themes and editing those, etc). |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Glad it works for you and you're happy, but don't recommend it to your |
| 56 |
friends with less than perfect vision as you'll be wasting their time. |
| 57 |
:P |
