What were you trying to do?
	Permanently set the font size for messages.

What's wrong:
	Setting the text size via View > Text Size > Smaller (or Larger)
	changes the settings only for the current setting.  Also, the first
	increase in font size either does nothing for the body, only
	the header (Solaris) or produces unreadable type (Linux).

What should have happened:
	Font size settings should be saved across settings.  (This
	may not be an actual bug, but I can't find another way to set
	this, and I would think this change would stick across
	sessions.)
	Font size changes should produce actual changes in font sizes
	or at least readable type.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
