I think that's a good idea.

As long as we are off topic anyway - anyone knows when TB actually uses monospace font? Is it possible to configure TB to display all messages using monospace?

The problem is that Sans-serif is a generic name which may resolve to different fonts for different encodings. Again - anyone knows a good universal font covering most of the UNICODE? Arguably, it is a bug of the mail client. As long as the message does not contain Japanese characters, it should *NOT* mark this message as having Japanese encoding.

In Japan, the Noto Sans and Noto Serif fonts, created in cooperation between Google and Adobe, seem to be well received.
I guess I should look at it, not sure what is used as default right now.
To us Japanese, Japanese is an ordinary language, but in the computer world, it is a special language, and this continues to create no small problems in various information systems.......
Best Regards.

Ah, OK, so the message does contain Japanese characters. Maybe signature can be reconsidered taking in account the wider audience of this list.
