I noticed that in SeaMonkey Mail's latest version 2.53.18.2 that the
text is small in SOME emails, and in some emails its fine. And I can't
figure out what to change to make the text a little bigger without
having to use CTRL ++ on those certain emails.

Any ideas on how?

Here is an example:

Yeah, I usually have to hit ^+ 4-5 times to make the text a reasonable
size.
 I don't know why.

Whilst, at groups.io, two different Tbird email users lists exist; one
for blind people, and, the other, for those of us who still have
sufficient sight, and, these messages about Tbird, should, more
properly, be directed to the Tbird users lists, try the following.

In the Edit -> Settings (that is, Tbird settings, not Account settings),
I have

Fonts for (Latin)
Proportional: (Sans-serif) Size (20)
Serif: Andika
Sans-serif: Andika
Monospace: Andika Size (20)

Font Control
Allow messages to use other fonts - unchecked
Use fixed width font for plain text messages - unchecked

You might prefer a different font to Andika - that is my preference, as
the most natural font (other than Clean, if someone finds it)

But, try those settings, and find whether that works for you, also. They
seem to work for me.
Minimum font size: 20

Sorry - two sets of things that I missed in my above message.

1, In the Edit -> Settings, it is further

General -> Language and Appearance -> Fonts and Colours -> Advanced

(with Default font set to Andika, Default font size set to 20)

2. Also, further to the above setting, is the part

Plain Text Messages

so want it)
When displaying quoted plain text messages:

It might be worth checking what language the emails are in. Thunderbird allows you to specify fonts separately for each writing system (e.g. if
you want to specify fonts for Japanese or Greek or Khmer messages, you
can do). For English and comparable languages, you want to set a font
for "Latin" writing system. However, note that there is also "Other
Writing Systems" so I can imagine that, if these emails aren't UTF-8 -
if they're some strange Windows encoding, for example - they might not
be using the font you think you've set.

For

Language
Choose the languages used to display menus, messages, and notifications
from Thunderbird.

I have set English (GB) which, I expect, will confound anything that
tries to impose characters that are not what I want.

It might be worth checking what language the emails are in. Thunderbird allows you to specify fonts separately for each writing system (e.g. if

if they're some strange Windows encoding, for example - they might not
be using the font you think you've set.

Font size prefs are in file prefs.js in the profile's root directory. I'll bet Darac's list is much shorter than mine:

grep font.size prefs.js

user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-central-euro", 18); user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-cyrillic", 18); user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-unicode", 18); user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-user-def", 18); user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-western", 18);
user_pref("font.size.fixed.zh-CN", 18);
user_pref("font.size.variable.ja", 18); user_pref("font.size.variable.x-central-euro", 20); user_pref("font.size.variable.x-cyrillic", 20); user_pref("font.size.variable.x-unicode", 20); user_pref("font.size.variable.x-user-def", 20); user_pref("font.size.variable.x-western", 20); user_pref("font.size.variable.zh-CN", 20); user_pref("font.size.variable.zh-HK", 20); user_pref("font.size.variable.zh-TW", 20);

Open about:config to see those that remain at 16 or 12 default grossly outnumber
any you have set. The file only contains those that have been changed from default
16 for variable and 12 or 13 for fixed. About:config lists all that are provided
by default.
