Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm an old-fashioned Linux/Unix guy who is used to read and write mails in monospaced fonts - NC mail doesn't offer any font selection/configuration, neither for reading, nor for writing text/plain mails.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make font for reading/writing mails configurable. At the very least monospaced/proportional. Additional size setting would be helpful too for us Gen X-ers with half a kilo of glass on our noses.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the mail reading and composing entry points to understand how text is currently styled. Define the scope for proportional or monospaced fonts and font-size settings, then verify that the chosen configuration applies to both reading and writing text/plain mails.
