Description

I found the the subject font too big as it reduced the number of messages that were displayed. When I went to change the font size, I found it was set to Default but I had no idea what Default was so which to select to make it smaller. It would be nice if it was indicated which size was default so you knew which sizes were going to be bigger and which were smaller.

You could even remove the Default button and just put (default) by whichever setting was the default, or indicate it in some other way, like underlining or emboldening the default setting.

Environment:

  • K-9 Mail version: 5.800
  • Android version: 10 with EMUI 10.0.0.180
  • Device: Honor 10 (COL-L29)
  • Account type: IMAP with Inbox set for Push
