OK, so now we see how the bad behavior is being executed in HTML. Maybe I'm misreading some of the comments, but is anyone here implying that this is not a bug? That a user-set default Composition font should not be respected as the default in cases 1 through N? Gene C gets right back to the main point: This is a bug.
And as I posted earlier, it's a bug that has me sending out unprofessional, embarrassing emails. If I can't find a solution, I expect that I'll abandon Thunderbird. A shame, since I'm an open source devotee, but it's more important to me that it works right. But first, on the topic of finding a solution: I observed today the "VOTE" feature in the header of this bug report. I clicked on that, then the Change Your Vote check-box, then Save Changes. Each of us who is registered here and logged in apparently gets 1000 votes, presumably to highlight which bugs we think are most important. My vote just bumped the count up to 21, but that still places it in the Normal Importance category.

The second line appear smaller than the first. It's barely perceptible, so half them time I think I am imagining it. Well, I've started Bccing to myself to check, and the emails I am receiving from myself are not only a different size, they're also a different font. Composer starts in some default serif, and by the second line is sans. I'd bee glad to email someone viz thunderbird, and also send along a screenshot of how it looks while I am typing. Thanks.
