Create a new profile and see if it still happens.  If not, post back
here and someone will help you migrate your settings from the old
profile to the new one.



I have Windows 10 and Windows 7.  Doesn't happen under Windows 7
SeaMonkey version 2.38 or 2.39.  It does happen under Windows 10
though.

It has something to do with the message's "text encoding".
Text size depends on whether the message is using Unicode or
something else like Western.

I don't know how to fix this.

If you look closely, you'll see that you can set font sizes and minimum 
values independently for different encodings. So if Western is set to 16 
with a minimum of 12 but Unicode is set to 12 with no minimum, you'll 
get different results depending on the encoding.

I can set a preferred font-size for proportional fonts and for monospace
fonts but not for each different font-family (serif, sans-serif,
cursive, and fantasy).  I can also set a minimum font-size globally but
without distinguishing proportional and monospace.


True, but that wasn't the OP's issue. He said "It has something to do 
with the message's 'text encoding.' Text size depends on whether the 
message is using Unicode or something else like Western."


At the top of the dialog, you can pull down the encoding from the button 
next to "Fonts for:" and you'll find that yes, you can set different 
sizes for different encodings. I'll wager if the OP sets the same sizes 
for Western and Unicode, the discrepancy will vanish.

You could try setting a minimum font size.  I found that to be effective.

I can set a preferred font-size for proportional fonts and for monospace
fonts but not for each different font-family (serif, sans-serif,
cursive, and fantasy).  I can also set a minimum font-size globally but
without distinguishing proportional and monospace.

The preferred font-size is used where the Web page or message does not
include a font-size.  The minimum font-size is applied where a eb page
or message does specify a font-size smaller than my minimum.
