Hi community,

I want to have the same font and font-size in:

• my HTML message body text
• my signature.html file

so I can send consistent and nice-looking e-mails, like you would expect.

Here are my current settings:

• Settings > General > Language & Fonts > Fonts >
  • Default font: Arial
  • Size: 12
  • Advanced: For both "Latin" and "Other Writing Systems" I have the settings you can see in the attached screenshots.

I heard that these settings are for personal viewing.

• Settings > Composition > HTML Style >
  • Font: Arial
  • Size: Medium

I heard that these settings are for viewing by recipients.

The first line of my signature.html file looks like this: div style="font-family: 'Arial'; color: #222; line-height: 1.0; font-size: 14px;"

There is always a slight font size mismatch of the message text with my signature.

I unsuccesfully tried tweaking the html font size values in px or pt to match the given size in Settings > Composition > HTML Style for Medium or Large.

It seems that the available font size granularity of Medium or Large just does not match corresponding pixel or point values?

I would be extremely grateful if someone can guide me on how to achieve this!

If there is no valid solution for this problem, I'm happy to open/report an issue on this.

Thank you and have a wonderful day

I returned to London from Singapore on Tuesday 28/4. Today (4 May) I noticed that all my emails show Singapore time (BST+7) in the Inbox display in Thunderbird on my Windows laptop although the time shown for emails is correct on my mobile (iPhone).

I checked calendar in Thunderbird settings and it's set to "Use system timezone" but the time on my laptop clock is correct. The time zone in my Windows setting is also correct (London).

When I open an email it shows the correct time.

Any thoughts?
