Non-monospaced fonts in compose textarea

Hi,

I have previously reported that I couldn't get the compose window to show a monospace font. Things get weirder though:

1. the main.css correctly sets 'font-family: monospace' for the textarea

2. firefox 1.5 refuses to display the 'user-chosen' monospace font when I turn

*off* the option that allows webpages to use other fonts

3. when I turn that option on, the monospaced font appears correctly (however

now all other webpages look like crap - I loathe Arial as default font).

Just so I get this straight - this is a known firefox bug right? I get this behaviour on both Linux and Windows.

Auke

PS: if you ask me - *please* replace all occurences of font-family: Courier new, courier, etc etc. by _just_ "monospace". This gives users the choice to pick their favorite fonts easier. Courier just is soo puke ugly ;^))
