I've only seen this problem once, and can't reproduce it, so I don't know w=

caused your problem.

I don't use these, so don't know, but I'll see if I can find any way to dea=

with that problem.

I did have to fiddle around a bit to find how to get every last bit of KDE =
text=20
to the size I wanted, but it's working correctly now.  As far as I can=20
remember, the problem is that some of the sections use settings from Config=
ure=20
KMail, and some things use font settings from SystemSettings >Appearance. =

I've been away a couple of days, and I'm not yet tuned in, but if you don't=

find it I'll try to help you.

Yes, that threw me at first :-)  Near the filter panel you have a set of ne=

icons.  The second from the left looks a bit like a newspaper page - that's=

the Aggregation icon.  Set it to Activity by Date, Threaded.  Take a look,=

while you're there, on the additional options under Configure, particularly=

tab Groups, Threads and Sorting
