How do I enlarge inbox text in Thunderbird?

−0

I've just installed Thunderbird on MacOS 14.2.1. I've run through all the settings I could find related to fonts and sizes, but nothing I change affects the message list, meaning the list of sender/subject/date that you see in the inbox. Some (but not all) individual messages respond to font changes (a problem for a different question later), but I need to make the text in the main list bigger. Is there a way to do this?

I'm referring to this part of the UI:

I restarted Thunderbird after making settings changes (several times, by now), but that didn't change the appearance of the message list.

Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that (will edit). I've restarted a few times in the process of trying to find/fix these settings; didn't make a difference.

I haven't found a way (yet?) to force all incoming email to plain text. I am seeing some variation in incoming messages, but I assume they're coming in as HTML and being rendered that way? Email I send is plaintext and honors my size settings.
