In Mail, Preferences Fonts & Colors Message Font doesn't seem to do 
anything.

Is this a problem on my machine or is it like this for everyone?

Some e-mails display with the fixed-width font and font size I have 
specified. But there is a certain amount of e-mail in my inbox that shows 
up with random fonts, usually in sizes I can't read without increasing the 
font size.

I figured that setting the message font in Preferences would allow me to 
skip any rich text or html formatting that came through, and not have to 
increase text size on so many messages. Am I way off-base here?

It also seemed to me that there ought to be an option to display plain 
text under View -> Messages but that option is not there. It may be 
something I recall from 10.6.

Ideally I'd like to know what others are doing - do you all increase font 
size continually like I do, and just complain less?
