Hi Lisi,

Here's what I did to set a different font and a larger character size in KMail. In the main Kmail window :

*Click on the Configuration menu
*Click on Configure Kmail
*Choose Appearance (in the column on the left)
*Choose the FONT tab
*Choose Apply to : Text message (or Body of message) I'm translating as I go since I have a French Kmail
*Choose your font name and size, that's it

It works fine for me and it's "permanent".
