Different font after sending messages

When I send a message the writing box shows the characters with the chosen font and the correct size (Corbel - 14px) Once I send the message, opening it again in Sent, the font appears larger (Corbel - 17px) The line-height is also larger. The display of the sent message (in Sent) is the same from the recipient's client. So it seems that the composition settings are not then retained when the message is sent. What could this be due to? I attach two images showing how the text appears when writing, and then instead once sent.

Okay, this may sound strange, but here is the real way to set fonts on Thunderbird. And I attached examples of my own setting of Calibri 14 as my default. Here goes:

- in Tools>settings>general, set your default font. 
- then click the advanced button. Notice the drop-down menu at top. It probably says 'latin' or 'other writing systems' - this is IMPORTANT: 
- select 'latin from that menu, set your desired font and font size settings, click OK, 
- select 'otherwritingsystems' from the drop-down menu and set the IDENTICAL settings to what you did for Latin, and then click OK. In attached screenshots you will see my latin and otherwritingsystem match.  Notice I also set monospace font.
- and, if you have account set to compose HTML, then set that in tools>settings>composition to variable-width and medium font. (You would only change the HTML font setting if your intent is for recipient to receive your preferred font - not my personal recommendation.)
- Set Sending Format to 'automatic' 

With these settings, your compose window and your sent folders will match. And if you don't write HTML (e.g., bold, italic, color), none will be sent . If you do these settings once, your font will always be consistent. This does not protect you from someone sending you a message in some god-awful font with 30 pt size, but this does provide consistency.

The above image is of the sent message view. This one is about the message being written.

David, I somehow managed to lose my previous connection with you. I hope you receive this. I followed all you suggested to the other inquirer. I will have to play with it to see if it solves my question. If it doesn't or if I have any other questions, I will try to reconnect with you! Rick
