Based on messing with font settings, tell me if I understand this correctly.

If I choose a font for the message body, it will be applied to HTML messages (overriding the font chosen by the sender).

No, it is only applied to plain text messages (or when viewing the plain text body part of an HTML message).

If I open a plain-text message, or one that’s converted to HTML via Markdown, the “theme for plain text emails” takes over and I get whatever font is defined there.

Only if the theme specifies a specific font. *Currently*, the default theme(s) only specify `sans-serif` which I believe is sufficient to avoid some email clients to use an ugly default font (which is the only reason I'm specifying a font at all).

If that’s true, it seems backwards to me. I would like to choose a font for plain text and locally rendered Markdown, and I would like HTML messages from others to appear exactly as sent. Is that possible?

I think that's how it works now (if I haven't messed up something).
