I cannot figure out how to set the font size on the new SeaMonkey
2.40 email program that I have installed on my new Dell, Windows 10
computer.

From those that I write to, I hear it is coming to them very small
even though I have the font set to the largest.  I am told that email
arriving from me is font size 10 and I would like to send it size 12
for easier reading.

The older version that I used on my old computer, had various ways to
adjust the print (color, size) this new version has no such options.
Is there a way to upload an older version of SeaMonkey, not real
happy with 2.40.

There are several factors to consider here.

1) If you're sending in plain text, no font size is specified, and it's
up to the recipient to set his/her own prefs on his/her local machine.

2) If you're sending in HTML, use the font size buttons (A↓, A↑) on the
HTML toolbar to adjust the size of the font you're sending. Are you
saying that doesn't help?

3) And of course your local display preferences (CTRL-+, CTRL--, CTRL-0)
have nothing to do with what is sent out or received at the other end.
What you see has nothing to do with what they get.

I'm guessing that, as it seems to be several/all of Pat's friends that
are complaining about the small font size, it might be something Pat has
done.

Have a look at Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts and try increasing
the Size (pixels) and Minimum font size.

That's what I called a "local display preference" in point 3) above, and has nothing to do with what Pat's sending out. It won't help, other than making Pat's local display more comfortable for Pat.

There's one more pref worth looking at:

4) Edit | Preferences | Mail & Newsgroups | Composition:
Defaults for HTML messages:
Size: [large]
