It might be worth checking what language the emails are in. Thunderbird
allows you to specify fonts separately for each writing system (e.g. if
you want to specify fonts for Japanese or Greek or Khmer messages, you
can do). For English and comparable languages, you want to set a font
for "Latin" writing system. However, note that there is also "Other
Writing Systems" so I can imagine that, if these emails aren't UTF-8 -
if they're some strange Windows encoding, for example - they might not
be using the font you think you've set.

BACK STORY:
This all started this last night on the TDE ( Trinity Desktop) mail list:
Felix here got to talking about Seamonkey, and it got me interested in
what it was up to, and I thought " I haven't tried SM in years, let me
download it"
Well, The browser barely works.=-O:-(
But, The email client that I am typing this email in right now, is
SeaMonkey's mail client and I am LOVING IT, it reminds me of my beloved
Netscape Navigator email
client that I use to use back on XP, before AOL killed off Netscape. >:o
Ohhh Yes, I was a huge Netscape fan back then! 8-)O:-)
I was mad for a long time after AOL killed off Netscape 9. I don't even
remember when that happened? 2008? 2009?
So, I got the email client set up but replies from a certain person were
TINY TINY TINY.
Interesting enough, Felix I just opened an email from DEP and went to
"VIEW MESSAGE SOURCE"
and scrolled through the text and found out that DEP ( That's a user
over on the TDE list ) is in fact using UTF-8.
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
Then, I just so happen to come across this plug in and WOW, what a difference!
I am guessing that everybody else uses regular TB, and me and Felix are the
only ones that still cling
to Seamonkey?
