[Users] How to set various fonts in the message view?

[slitt at troubleshooters.com]

An added fact I just found: Clicking the Apply button on dialog box
configuration=>preferences=>display=>fonts does not reflect the font
sizes that will be in force after re-starting Claws. You need to close
and restart Claws to see the real result of your configuration
activities.
