Title:
  Small font sizes in Evolution mail reading and compose windows in
  Ubuntu 11.10

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Everything was OK in old Ubuntu e.g., 10.04. After upgrading to Ubuntu
  11.10, however, the font size in email reading window is quite small.
  The header font is bigger, but the text font is too small. And evo
  can't remember the size. Every time when reading emails I have to use
  Ctrl-+ to zoom in. This happens only for text emails. For html emails,
  it looks ok. Mail compose window also has small font (for composing
  text emails), and the text cursor (not mouse cursor) looks very
  strange: it has not same size as font (much bigger), and sometimes it
  looks not in the same line as text, but behaves in the same line!

  I have converted mail format from mbox to maildr (?), because
  Evolution asks me to do so first time when I opened it after upgrading
  to new Ubuntu. I don't know if it is a reason. Another bug related to
  format conversion is, everytime when I sent an email out, it shows an
  error something like: "The mail has been successfully sent. But the
  post-processing had problem. It can't save draft in mbox://... It was
  saved in 'Sent'." And a "Dismiss" button is there too. (Maybe I should
  start another bug report)

  My OS:
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
  Release:	11.10

  My evolution:
  $ apt-cache policy evolution
  evolution:
    Installed: 3.1.92-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 3.2.0-0ubuntu2
    Version table:
       3.2.0-0ubuntu2 0
          500 http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
   *** 3.1.92-0ubuntu1 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Oh, I saw an update of evo: 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 (actually hundreds or even
  thousands of upgrads! it should be a distribution upgrade). I will
  check if it fixes the bug.
