For SM, the diplayed font depends on the Character Encoding of the
message.
So, Hartmut, this must mean that somewhere with-in the message header,
the font in which it was composed *must* be listed, doesn't it??
No, unless it's an HTML message, which can contain a font specification.
For a plain-text message, you'll see only the charset tag, and SM will
use that info to decide which font to use in displaying it. In the case
of your post, we see:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
The code "ISO-8859-1" is what we humans know as "Western," so my system
looked up the rule for displaying Western messages and used the font I
had specified for that.
A different user's system (such as your recipient's) may have a
different policy for displaying plain-text messages; for example, he may
be so enamored of the font Mistral that he has told his system to use it
no matter what. ;-)
