Mailing list archive text is wrapped in pre tags with no font styling so Firefox (using fontconfig's configuration) defaults to Courier New (according to #44), which is very illegible.

An example:

hnh chp t 2013-07-11 22 26 01

Much better with Droid Sans Mono:

Interestingly, Chrome/Chromium guys understand this issue [1] and make monospace default to Droid Sans Mono instead. So the bug is only observable on Firefox.

Yes. Should be a simple HTML/CSS template patch.
