The screenshot already uses a 5px leading for a 9px font, that really seems 
appropriate to me. For print, you usually have a 1-3 pt leading for a 9 pt 
font. It is often recommended to add 1 or two px leading for screen fonts, 
but 9/14 should be enough from the point of legibility.

I also find that personally very legible and I just checked with my KMail 
installation 2.2.2 using QT 2.3.1 and found the same leading there (with a 
different font face though). I never had any problems reading messages here, 
but perhaps that's in part a matter of what one is used to as well.
