Evolution and Spam Again

cssutto

Ihave the ant-spam filters working in Evolution to my complete satisfaction. I get no false positives and I miss fewer than one a week out of 150 or so spams a day. I would like to filter spam so that it is deleted immediately rather than sent to a junk mailbox.

Font When Composing Email in Evolution

cssutto

I want to set the font to a large font when composing email. At least a 12. But I do not want to send it in HTML I know how to set font size in received emails. It is pretty hard to check gammar and spelling when the font is like something on the back of a used car finance sales contract.
