Bug Description
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Problem Description
With my news server account I expect all plain-text messages to be displayed with the same font size. However, some messages are rendered with a larger font. An example of this is the third message in the thread "Typedef Bug/Error" in comp.lang.c sent by Pranav 2008-09-01. The character encoding for this message is EUC-KR. Anyway, as far as I know there is no reason to a larger font for this encoding.

This may be intentional, as Thunderbird saves font preferences separately for every encoding. You can change your preferences via "Edit -> Preferences -> Display -> Formatting -> Fonts...".
If you had previously decreased the font size for your standard enconding (say "Western"), this would explain the discrepancy you see when viewing a message with a different encoding.
