Thanks for taking a look. I'm currently struggling with the font situation.
The fonts have to be that small in order to fit on an 800x600 screen. (640x480
is totally unmanagable)

However, I agree that they're too small on larger screens, and they may indeed
be unreadable in certain setups. I tested with Mozilla 1.4, Netscape 6.2, 
Netscape 4.x, and IE 6 on a windows box. And with Mozilla 1.3.1, Konqueror (latest
production release), and Netscape 4.8 on a FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE box. All displayed
fine for me, but the font WAS a BIT small at resolutions > 800x600.

This is an issue that I simply cannot solve with fonts alone. I think sqwebmail is
desparately in need of some Preferences options to set the subject and from address
wrap points and possibly some other options as well.

However, since it IS readable at 800x600 and 1024x768 on a windows box, I'm leaving
it the way it is for now. We have absolutely no customers running Linux currently,
and I'd rather devote my time to other needed functionality for a while.

And I'll also mention that these font sizes are 100% configurable from a style sheet.

Thanks again for looking.

Jesse
