Evolution font size didn't change in the inbox or in the messages window It did in the view pane.  But I did find the place to change out the wild color used with every other email message.  Plus It did fix the Kmail and the Mozilla.  So I have two email apps instead of one now with a magnifying glass.  Thanks everyone.

  I think the "dark blue color highlighting every other message" can be changed 
  in KControl, under Appearance & Themes | Colors | Widget Color | Alternate 
  Background in Lists.  (At least, that's where I've changed it for 
  kmail . . . ).

  As for the fonts, I think you should be able to change those in KControl, too, 
  under Appearance & Themes | Fonts | Adjust All Fonts.  I think there might be 
  a bug in some versions of KDE where you have to logout or restart 
  applications for that to take affect.

  I'm not sure if these will work on Evolution, but they should.
