I would suggest trying setting an entry in the address book for the
list, I'd expect that to take priority over some kind of auto-
completion of an address it's found in a folder. Check your address
book hasn't acquired a "users" entry. Some email clients (optionally)
automatically add addresses to the address book when you reply to a
message. If so, remove or alter it.
You could set your own unique name for the address in the address book
if you can't stop it auto-completing users to the wrong address.
e.g. FU could be Fedora Users. ;-)

If you right-click on a folder, are there options for this?
I probably have an old version installed, but I only see options about
deleting old messages (by age, or by the number of messages in the
folder). Though, I only use IMAP, and local storage is caching rather
than storage, so I may see different options than for other schemes.
But in the main settings there is a sub-section about disk space, that
sound like they might offer what you want:
Disk Space
Your cache is currently using 330 KB of disk space
[ ] Override automatic cache management
Use up to [250] MB of space for the cache
[✔] Compact all folders when it will save over [20] MB in total
[✔] Ask every time before compacting

Where are you setting this? When reading a message, or in general
settings? I'd expect in the settings to be a permanent setting, but
overrides in the reader may be transient.
There are options for allowing messages to use other fonts, and
different fonts for different alphabets. You may have a HTML email
specifying certain font sizes overriding your preferences.
