I think you can probably get close by creating this file:

	~/Library/Application\ 
Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/html_stylesheet.css

For plain text emails displayed by MailMate then the following should 
work:

	div { font-family: Monaco, monospace; }

Very often they do specify, e.g., MailMate has to explicitly request a 
sans-serif font, because otherwise HTML emails get very ugly in some 
email clients.

You could try something like this:

	body { font-family: monospace; }

Or maybe:

	p,div { font-family: monospace; }

Overriding everything:

	* { font-family: monospace !important; }
