This is in Thunderbird's language and appearance preferences, so it
affects how you see everything.  Not the HTML editor, where it only
affects messages you author, and people who see a HTML version of them
(and have a font that matches your selection).

As I said, "monospace" was its name.  It is in the default installation
on my Fedora 42 (and many prior releases).  I use Mate desktop, by the
way.

Looking at Thunderbird, I can pick it as the default font.

And I can go into the advanced font choices and pick it as my serif
font, my sans-serif font, and my monospace font.  And, because it's
picked as the font for all them, it shouldn't matter whether the
proportional font is using the serif or sans-serif font choice, because
both of them will use monospace.

If I look in my personal system preferences (for my whole desktop) it's
also selected by that name for my fixed width font (used in command
line terminals, for instance).

Looking at font pickers elsewhere on my system, Liberation Mono is very
similar but not the same, so it's not that.  And there's a similar-
looking Roboto Mono.  But DJVu Sans Mono looks the same though has
alternate names in the styles (book versus regular, oblique versus
italic), it's probably that.  And this command line supports that idea:

[tim@rocky ~]$ fc-match monospace
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"

Somewhere there's a file or two about font alternatives on the system,
one in general, another per user.  Though I can't remember what it's
called.  I can find these (below), but I thought there was an xdg file
about it:

/etc/fonts/conf.d
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
