How can I specify a BOLD font for reading messages in TB's userChrome.css

There's lots of information about changing the panes with lists, but NOT how to make the font in the message pane bold. There used to be a table with the names of all the entities (?) used (folderpane, folderlist, etc.) but I've searched for over an hour with no results. Perhaps all I need is the actual name of the folder pane so I can add this to my userChrome.css:

    font-family: arial !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;

Or if I need to do something completely different, what might that be?

Thx, Bev

This works. I had a lot of stuff that was preventing this from working, along with editing the wrong file :-(

From Eckard in mozilla.support.thunderbird:

  In the userContent.css file it should be
  body {
  font-weight: bold !important; }
  It works for both reading and composition.
