Thunderbird Should Respect My Choice of Font.

[ThePillenwerfer]

Under Settings > Composition > HTML Style I have Font set to Courier as I find it the easiest to spot typing errors in and it also has a comprehensive set of glyphs.  Despite this Thunderbird does it’s best to switch it to ‘Variable Width.’

If I copy text from a previously sent message that was itself in Courier and paste it into the Composition window it will paste as Variable Width.  If I use Insert > HTML and then resume normal typing that too will be in Variable Width.

I believe that having set a font in settings that is the one that should be used unless explicitly instructed otherwise.
