Thank you very much Thilo for your informative and prompt response.
I've saved your post so I can find the default fonts again <g>.

 From the Mozilla Thunderbird home page I see they are up to version 
1/5/0/7 from my 1.5.0.4.  I'll look into upgrading although I must admit 
that Thunderbird seems very complex and 'fragile' to me so I get really 
nervous when I mess with it.

I see you have been posting for about a month.  Please keep up your good 
work - it's not that easy to find 'technical' users in the Ubuntu 
groups.  My background is Slackware so I'm very much into the nuts and 
bolts.
