   The receiver controls the font, but modified based on certain charsets,   
   e.g. Chinese tend to use "big5" and Thunderbird will use either a YaHei   
   or SimSun font for that, which always looks like a low quality scratchy   
   font on my machines ... someone else described it as "stretched   
   vertically Times Roman"

   Maybe any scraped sample headers that you randomly include into postings   
   should exclude those with charset big5, or koi8 (similar for russian)
