For all the criticisms that people love to fling toward Outlook Express, it does let me choose the font for incoming mail. The e-mail messages I received in Ewellic were plain text.

There definitely seems to be a bug in Mozilla in this area. See for example http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201695 (still unconfirmed - it seems that Mozilla bug reports in this area don't even get looked at in six months) and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26182 (where they claim the problem was fixed three years ago, but it has reappeared). Maybe there is a fix by setting some user preferences in a special file, but there doesn't seem to be a fix in the UI.

I'll file a new bug - done, see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222777. It will be interesting to see what response I get, if any.
