Can anyone tell me why Thunderbird is doing this? I don't really want to select a default font that will over ride fonts in formatted messages. But why is Thunderbird flip flopping between two different fonts for *unformatted* messages?

Ooh, I figured this one out, back when I was running Thunderbird.

I suspect it is the content encoding of the messages.  If I throw in
something non-ASCII, forcing a UTF-8 encoding, such as • bullet, or † a
dager should trigger this.

Provided that the list server doesn't mangle this, what do you get for a
font from this?

(mutt is set up to try encoding with just simple ascii if possible, or
use UTF-8 if I use any extended characters)
