[Xprint] Monospaced font in Thunderbird/Mozilla mail

It seems that the file userContent.css can also be used to
obtain monospaced printout of mail messages from Mozilla and
derivatives, making the print preview agree with the actual printout.

Inside the @media print selector you just add

       .moz-text-plain {
        font-family: 'Courier New',courier,monospace !important;
    }

Other hints relating to the appearance of mail (which is the
printed appearance if the @media print selector is used) can
possibly be found in

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.7/source/themes/modern/messenger/

So far, I tested only .moz-text-plain (which is mentioned in the
messageBody.css file). It works within userContent.css, provided
the !important directive is used.
