How do I keep default font in my own Thunderbird emails?
I bcc myself on all my emails. My default typeface for everything in Thunderbird is Georgia. I can see that the emails I write in Tbird are in Georgia as I compose them.
But when I open my own sent messages in Tbird, the typeface has changed to some sans-serif font. What's really puzzling is that when I open my T-sent emails on my phone (in K-9 mail), I get Georgia -- it looks just as I intended.
I have unchecked "allow messages to use other fonts" and in my "send" options, I have tried "send as HTML anyway" and "ask me what to do" and changing that doesn't seem to matter.
What setting do I need to change so that my own Thunderbird-sent messages remain in Georgia when I open them in Thunderbird?

Under Tools/Options/Display/Formatting/Fonts & Colors/Advanced, what do you have for Proportional, Serif and Monospace?
Proportional: serif Serif: Georgia Sans-serif: Georgia Monospace: Georgia
Thanks for any help you can give.

I'd suggest you make sure you have set those for both "Latin" and "Other writing systems".
Save a message as Draft, or send one to yourself. Then open it and view its source using ctrl+u. I'm wondering if it explicitly mentions "Georgia" anywhere. I became interested in why my messages, composed (I thought) in a sans-serif font were appearing in colleagues' email clients in Times Roman. What I discovered was that Thunderbird didn't explicitly declare the typeface; it set size and style but not the face.
A cure for this is to use the Stationery add-on and set up a template that does actually set a font. e.g.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style:italic;"
bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#0000ff">
<span id="_AthCaret"><!-- initial cursor placement --></span><br>
<div class="moz-signature">
-- <br>
Zenos<br>
</div>
</body>
</html>
