Perhaps it's sloppy checking on my part, too. =:^)

The toggle for mono-space is in the view menu (and normally toggles with
the C hotkey, IIRC).  U R correct about the prefs.  That much was your
misunderstanding my sloppy references. =:^)

However, I was under the impression that compose also honored the view
menu mono-space toggle setting, since I tend to use mono-space in the body
all the time.  Thus, it was sloppy checking on my part when I said it did
honor that, but it apparently simply uses mono-space no matter what the
toggle setting is (according to your statement, that even with sans/16 in
the body view, it's using mono-space in the composer).
