I no longer use my laptop for reading email, it’s getting old like me and I no longer have a need to buy a replacement. So I use the email client on my iPad 4 gen 6 which does not, to my knowledge, have a way to alter font sizes.
Sorry for the noise. Staying subscribed to this list after nearly 30 years helps me pass the time and stay in touch with the openSUSE crowd.

Please keep in mind that many of the members on this list are older and may no longer have pristine vision which makes reading your HTML messages with a tiny font difficult to read.

Ken - we could start a whole new thread talking about how bad and f&*%ked up handling fonts/font sizes in OpenSuSE is! Apparently what looked good to me when I send emails does not end up looking good to the receiver. There are so many font management tools, both discoverable and undiscoverable, versions, and even applications with their own font management tools, (Thunderbird, my email client that I use, for example) that I wince every time I try to manage fonts and I just hate it. I STILL have lots of stuff that I cannot figure out how to manage the fonts for, and for the most part I just have to live with what I get. 

In this case, it is your fault, sorry :-)

Thunderbird can write in these font sizes:
T    Larger (size 6).
T    Larger (size 5)
T    Larger (size 4)
T    Normal font.
T    Smaller (size 2)
T    Smaller (size 1)
Your text used size 1 for the paragraph, and size two for the command line text.
What font is actually used is selected by the recipient software, but the sender chooses the relative size.

Just type your message in what Thunderbird says it is "normal size" and the receiver should be fine.

If the "normal size" seems too big at your side, then change the font size in preferences of TB. But do not type your letter choosing "smaller" or "double smaller" unless you want to type the fine print of a legal document ;-)
