I have dropped TBird since Seamonket-2.0alpha was available, but I would suspect
in preferences there's a checkbox called something like "let messages set their
own fonts," and you have it ON. If someone posts using a bizarre font or size it
will bypass the default you set.
This is a wild-ass guess and may not reflect your problem, but it's easy to check.
