I could reproduce that and I've made sure it'll behave better when this 
happens (outputting a warning and switching to the default font).

To reverse it:

	defaults delete com.freron.MailMate MmHeadersViewFontName

To fix it:

	defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmHeadersViewFontName -string 
"HelveticaNeue"

The problem was the use of curly double quotes.
