No, it is only applied to plain text messages (or when viewing the plain 
text body part of an HTML message).

Only if the theme specifies a specific font. *Currently*, the default 
theme(s) only specify `sans-serif` which I believe is sufficient to 
avoid some email clients to use an ugly default font (which is the only 
reason I'm specifying a font at all).

I think that's how it works now (if I haven't messed up something).
