The font rendering of the email preview/view windows and the editor window could suffer from a font rendering, that is different from the the rendering of all other fonts. Sylpheed and Claws don't suffer from this issue, but Evolution does. You could use Ctrl+[+], Ctrl+[-] and Ctrl+0 (without the Alt-key) to resize the fonts in Evolution preview/view windows, but not in the editor window, however on my machine they are still blurry, even if they are larger. Evolution allows to chose other fonts as the rest of the system does use, so a user could chose any plain text font (s)he would use when formatting a HTML mail. Off-topic: Two times I changed my email address for this list by the web interface. Mailman claimed the changes are submitted and there's no confirmation mail in the spam folder. I'm not allowed to post to this list using the new address. If this mail should come through, the old address is kept. Any ideas? I'll try changing the address via email later.
