           Summary: Quoted Text font size setting is broken
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

In Configure KMail->Appearance->Fonts, the user can select a font style to
apply to Quoted Text at the first, second, and third levels.  When the "Apply
to:" drop-down box is set to one of these options, the "Font:" and "Size:"
lists are greyed out, while the "Font style:" list and the "Size:" spinner are
left active. (See attached screenshot.)

This does not make sense.  Why is the "Size:" spinner active while the "Size:"
list is inactive?  Either the user should be able to set the font size here, or
he should not be able to.  Both widgets should be greyed out, or both widgets
should be active.

I suggest that both widgets should be active.  KMail recently introduced a
setting to decrease the font size of quoted text (Appearance->Message
Window->Use smaller font for quoted text); however, this setting does not allow
the user to specify how much the text should be reduced.  On my system, for
example, enabling this option causes quoted text to be reduced so much that
it's not easy to read.  Why not get rid of this checkbox and simply allow the
user to select the font size for quoted text in the Fonts tab?
