It is hard to say what exactly is going on. What I see is that I'll

the new font. Looking at Bugzilla I see a few old Thunderbird bugs
about fonts changing but nothing that seems to be recent or followed
up on.

OK, so we're talking about HTML messages, not plain text?


Yes.


yes... outside of newsgroup folks... our daughters, wives, mothers and
friends all compose in HTML... few non-techie males know there is a
distinction between plain txt and html... and would look puzzled if you
asked them about it...


Back in the day of <10GB hard drives and 56K modems I used to get mad at folks who used HTML e-mail and scold them. It was especially a problem as not all e-mail clients properly rendered all e-mail. Claris and Eudora had issues for one.

I have long since had to give up and give in to HTML e-mail. It isn't so bad anymore as long as HTML is not abused. My beef now is long tag lines and embedded graphics. These are also getting harder to get away from.
