Sorry I took so long to respond. I just wanted to says 'thanks' for your 
help with this. As it turns out I'm using a backup computer now (FC 4) 
which has an older version of thunderbird (which is not giving me 
font-size problems). I'll keep your email for when I need to run a newer 
version in the future.
