superhuge message display

more options

The upgrade 115.3.1 (32-bit) is unsatisfactory to many people. For me, the worst part is the superhuge message display. I can't seem to be able to reduce the size/font of the displayed message. Other people seem to have the same problem on your "help" site. This kind of display makes it impossible to skim a major part of a message before deciding whether to open it or not. Can you please tell me if this can be fixed and/or if I can get back to the prior version of Thunderbird? I support Mozilla and Thunderbird, but this is the first time I'm really disappointed by an update. Sincerely, Jane [removed phone# and email from public support forum]

But I do want lots of remote content from many sources. What happens if I do not allow it?

Most remote content comes in the form of images which are not included with the email - they are accessed from a remote source. Other remote content may not be the sort you would desire eg: malware can be embedded in images. Some images may be a few pixels in size so would not even know they existed.

I will look into the shortly. Have to take the computer on a European trip, and before I do more I want to use it in laptop mode, not with a big screen. Thank you. Please leave the issue open.
