Look at the actual message code:

Translation of named/numbered sizes in legacy web browsers using default settings and the standard arbitrary DPI assumption of 96 (factual physically on a ~13.5" screen with resolution of 1024x768; or a ~23" 1920x1080 screen; 12pt=16px):
7 = xx-large = 32px = 24.00pt 6 = x-large = 24px = 18.00pt 5 = large = 18px = 13.50pt 4 = medium = 16px = 12.00pt 3 = small = 13px = 9.75pt 2 = x-small = 10px = 7.50pt 1 = xx-small = 9px = 6.75pt
Many moons ago I tried to get the differences between sizes to be less disparate proportionally, but gave up after 7 years getting nowhere: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187256
Most newer browsers read/produce pt settings as though they were px settings, a 1:1 ratio instead of the variable ratios that physically exist when taking into account real display density (measured in DPI/dots per inch).
Well, but this is the mail client, not the web browser. The mail composer has a few settings in the tool bar to choose sizes or styles. The rest is hidden in the menu.
Why Carlos is showing 3 as "normal" I don't grok. I use SeaMonkey, and don't ever compose email using HTML except under extreme duress.
Well, try it and find out what it does :-) It is Thunderbird who says that size 3 is "normal", not me. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
