OK, I did that. It makes the Re From and To text big and
readable, but does nothing to the actual text of the message,
which is where I'm really having the problem. I'm using a 19"
CRT Trinitron, which has good resolution, but the characters
are rather tiny. That's also true of an outgoing message,
like this one.

Also, make sure your monitor's dimensions are set correctly in
your X settings (sax2). X uses those to calculate what DPI your
display has, and if it guesses too low, your fonts will appear
too small.

In 10.2 we've added a feature to the KControl->Appearance->Fonts
config to allow you to hardwire a DPI, for people where
SaX/xorg.conf is outside their control, or just too scary, so
you could experiment with that too.

It's weird. When I hit "reply" I get a font I can read easily.
It's just the incoming message and the outgoing email that is in
microfont.

"incoming message"???
"outgoing email"???

I'm guessing you mean message body and quoted text?

I believe the monitor is set correctly. I will open
sax2 and see what happens. I don't have 10.2 and won't. If M/S
hasn't killed SuSE by 10.3, I will buy that.

If the general font-size of the KDE-menu's and other applications is
good, then you only need to change the size of the message body and
quoted text.

The size of the Message body is set by selecting "Message Body" in
the Appearence -> Fonts -> "Apply to:" combobox (remember red
circle?), and subsequently choosing a larger font size.

The quoted text initially appears smaller that the rest of the
message body. Uncheck the "Use smaller font for quoted
text"-checkbox on Appearence -> "Message Window".

Cheers,

Leen
