Western (ISO-8859-1) for Outgoing and Incoming Mail, with both

In the upper portion of the dialog:
Fonts for [Western]
Proportional [Serif] Size [16]
Serif [serif]
Sans-serif [sans-serif]
Monospace [monospace] Size [12]
Minimum font size [None]
[ ] Allow messages to use other fonts
Can I over ride the ugly font used to display UTF-8 without messing up
formatted emails, formatted with html or whatnot?
I had used halving to reduce down a reply all the way to basically
nothing to myself. The bad font continued to be displayed. Looking at
Content-Type, it never changed from UTF-8.
I remembered having seen something about Character Encoding somewhere in
the menu long ago. I tried selecting View => Character Encoding =>
Western (ISO-8859-1) and eureka! The bad font instantly changed to the
other font. But that's only temporary until you view another email.
When you come back, it's back to the default. I don't care to correct
them manually that way anyway. I just want to prevent the UTF-8
messages from using the insane font.
