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

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?
This one did indeed come up with the ugly font. As a test, I will
merely insert this comment, and trim nothing of your message. Next, I
will reply again to the same message, but trim out just those characters.
(mutt is set up to try encoding with just simple ascii if possible, or
use UTF-8 if I use any extended characters)

Saudi Arabia's relations with the U.S. were strained after the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks—15 of the 19 suicide bombers involved were
Saudis. Despite the monarchy's close ties to the West, much of the
extremely influential religious establishment has supported
anti-Americanism and Islamic militancy. In Aug. 2003, following the
U.S.-led war on Iraq in March and April 2003, the United States withdrew
its troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. The U.S. had maintained troops in
the country for the past decade, a source of great controversy in the
strongly conservative Islamic country. One of the major reasons given
for the Sept. 11 attacks by Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden was the
presence of U.S. troops in the home of Islam's holiest sites, Medina and
Mecca.
