I really don't think you're getting this, John (though to be fair, I'm not sure 
Xavier got it either).

What was originally being suggested is that the HTML *composer* not offer a 
choice of font, so that whatever the recipient has set as his "default font" is 
used, on the theory that what they have set as default is whatever they'd most 
like to see.  Thus, there's no possibility of mangling any sent messages.

What it looks like Xavier thought was being suggested was overriding the 
sender's font choice when *reading* HTML mail, on the theory that what you have 
set as your default font is what you'd most like to see, and other people send 
awful mangled HTML mail with terrible fonts.  This is a useful option (and 
exists in Mail), but personally, I wouldn't like to see it as the default.

No one is suggesting trying to send any kind of mangled message, or blame 
anyone for sending anything in any given font.
