Mac - Thunderbird

Post by chocolate » 18th Aug, '11, 01:32

Hello Mac people

I have a question - probably the first of many... :D

I am seemingly too blind to see the text in thunderbird properly...and while I can make the text in the preview pane bigger of a particular email I cannot seem to make either the folder list / list of emails larger font. I believe there is programming involved...can anyone direct me how to do this?

Thank you

In your case I think a step ladder will help.

Use Mail? I don't use Thunderbird, so can't help you there.

BTW a neat trick for resizing photos for the web or email is to zoom to the size you want in iPhoto or preview and then press shift-command-4. Then you get a cursor to select the area of the pic you want. Select that area and hey presto you have a png on the desktop ready to go. Only discovered this a few weeks ago, but it saves a bundle of time compared to mucking about with resizing by any other means. I suspect this is why resizing isn't really featured in iPhoto very well, but nobody told me, so I'm telling you.

It's surprising that when someone says "Mac" I shudder with horror, but if they use the word "Big" in front of it I jump up and down in delight!

[smilie=rotflmao.gif] I've just noticed the special forum.

(I had warned Neo to expect lots of questions but he said, there's not much that can go wrong, what will she need to ask?)
