That may be because they use one of the other graphics engines, and XFCE settings may not be applicable (totally or partially). If I recall correctly, those kind of applications tend to be Gnome/GTK. > The remaining problem is that the > Thunderbird message text area seems to > have grown smaller over the years. Yes, I've noticed that kind of malarkey when mum used to use it. I haven't been able to stand Thunderbird for many years, because of the painful way it does a myriad of things. Out of all the Linux clients I've tried over the years, Evolution has been the least painful. And that's been my experience, not finding a good client, but finding the least annoying. > So I began looking for an alternative > e-mail application and thought Claws > might be a possibility but it presents a > different set of things to work around. > That and the fact that we are stuck with > a poor aspect ratio in the available > monitors.

Just a thought, does using a monitor in portrait orientation work better for you? Emails tend to be longer than wider, and clients *may* organise their display better in another orientation. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
