Is it possible to increase the font in the compose window
(reply/post/email) independently of other windows?

I can read accurately enough at 8 point, and that gets a large amount
in each window. But when it's *me* doing the typing, I prefer a larger
font, to aid my noticing errors.

In my previous post, I hadn't noticed that I'd spelled "ellipses" as
"eliipses" until the spelling checker alerted me. Not all of my
spelling mistakes are so benign.

That depends on what software you are using.

But you can always, I presume, compose in another program and
copy'n'paste the completed work into that compose window for launching.

If you do that in a textarea (or otherwise) of a local HTML page of your
own construction, you have the full gamut of CSS & JavaScript to adjust
what you see.

Note: on-topic answer.
