Opera has a quirks mode font-size regression bug that makes the body text  
bigger compared to other browsers. I've been trying to get Opera to fix it  
for years but they just won't do it. :(

Opera has <opera:config#browser%20css%20file> where you can patch Opera's  
default style sheet. However, browser.css doesn't have any way to  
differentiate between quirks mode and standards mode. So, if you fix the  
font-size for quirks mode, you'll break something in standards mode and  
vice versa.

I asked the Opera devs if they'd implement something for browser.css to  
differentiate between quirks mode and standards mode so users could at  
least fix it themselves and they said it could be easily implemented. But,  
the whole proposal was denied.

In short, there's no way to fix it for Opera except for making the page  
run in standards mode or by using user css or user js in a site preference.

I've been patching Squirrelmail for a long time now to make it run in  
standards mode to fix things for Opera. I think it'd be great if  
SquirrelMail did this by default.
