Atrocious printed output from KMail 1.2 using KDE 2.1

I'm having a bit of a problem with printed output from KMail. When I print
an email from KMail the font size is absolutely huge. I thought it might be
because I was using custom display fonts in KMail so I went back and
configured Kmail to use whatever defaults it uses. Still no luck.

I thought perhaps I had messed up my printer configuration so I tried
printing out an old email from Communicator 4.76. Communicator generates
descent looking output. I have also printed a few web pages from Konqueror
to see if perhaps it was only KDE apps which couldn't print nicely but the
output from Konqueror looks quite nice as well.

Is there anything I can change in KMail to affect the font size it uses
when printing? I'm printing on a Lexmark Optra Color 40 which accepts
Postscript.

Thanks in advance,

Tony
